I know that Google does some open source but a lot of their assets are very closed source. What are the main ones that are open source and those not?
Android - fully open (I think)
GMail - Closed
Search - Obviously closed
Chrome - Some open source bits (webkit)... but I'm not sure
JavaScript compilers (that Steve Yegge is working with)
Youtube - Closed
Feedburner - Closed Blogger - Closed
I am struggling to come up with big pro-OSS products from Google.
(Disclaimer: I'm a Google employee, and therefore obviously biased :)
Have a look at this page for a fairly large list of our open source APIs and projects. (I'm particularly involved in Protocol Buffers and the C# port.)
Other things to consider off the top of my head, some of which are no doubt on that list:
Google Java collections
GWT (Google Web Toolkit)
Wave (in the future)
You might also consider code.google.com to be a "pro-OSS product" in its own right.
Chrome is entirely open-source, as Chromium.
Google CTemplate, a templating library for C++.
http://code.google.com/p/zxing/ ZXing multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java. Possibly it's not the main one and not the highest quality but I've found it useful and open-source as opposed to most other such libraries.
Jaiku, as of recenty.

I'm working on Sbire which use google speech-api. There is a some things which I don't like with this api.
First, this is not in streaming mode. It receive small audio files but there is no real pipes.
Secondly, it's not precise. Google does not record our voice to learn our accent. I think it's very important to have a good quality of recognition.
I'm looking for a free api or an open-source tool.
Actually there is a streaming mode, but it requires an API key. Here is an example of how to use it: http://mikepultz.com/2013/07/google-speech-api-full-duplex-php-version/
If you want something that learns, you'll need to create a neural network to handle the data. The best open source tool, however, is CMUSphinx or pocketSphinx(a mini version of CMUSphinx). Here is a link to that tool: http://sourceforge.net/p/cmusphinx/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/
The best part of CMU-Sphinx, however, is that you can set a dictionary of keywords. Instead of outputting gibberish, you can have it ONLY output those commands and finds the command closest to what it thinks you are saying. This make speech recognition incredibly accurate, but only work for a small set of words.

I have an applicaion, that can best be described 'loosly' as a scripting application, primarly designed for part time developers, engineers and sciences types with a VB.NET background (can theoretically do C#).
This has been a long three year hobby and I am about 95% complete. I am planning to make the applicaiton freely available for most (if not all) uses, but I do not want to open source it (at least right now).
I was looking for an online place to post and collaborate with some folks for feedback, to get some testing done and finalize the application (my wife wants me to be DONE with it). My searches online have revealed many spaces, but all seem to be open-source spaces that require release of the source code, or just aplace to post 'free' completed software. I am looking for the collaboration part.
Can anyone point me to a such a space that does not require providing the open source code (if it even exits)?
I think you can use most of the collaboration places without actually uploading any source to the repository.
I've seen a bunch of project on Google Code Hosting that have no source (usually its then on GitHub) and just use the Google Hosting for bug-tracking and collaboration.
I created a BitBucket account. Looks like it might work. Many of the sites require you to choose an open source license before you even create a space. BitBucket does not.

Suggest me any open source based platform/IDE/framework/toolkit for developing intelligent agent. I don't have any background in this area, would like to use a tool or any tutorial in building intelligent agent.
If you don't have any background at all, I suggest you start with something simple.
I had quite a good experience with dmangame, a simple Python engine where you can script the behaviour of agents.
The good point is that the installation is very simple, you know where to code your Python scripts for AI, there is a nice API for it. And you've got a nice graphical interface to see directly what you code.
Edit : By the way, look at this similar question
Weka is probably the most comprehensive open source AI toolkit. It's positioned as a tool for "data mining" but don't let that put you of - it's a general toolset for machine learning which is exactly what you need if you want to build an intelligent agent.
You can use any IDE you like with it (it's Java based so that gives you a range of great open source IDEs such as Eclipse or Netbeans, but you can also call the Weka libraries from other languages if you like).
It also has some of its own tools build it (for visualisation and exploring data sets etc.)

I haven't done this in 3 or 4 years, but a client wants to downgrade their dynamic website into static HTML.
Are there any free tools out there to crawl a domain and generate working HTML files to make this quick and painless?
Edit: it is a Coldfusion website, if that matters.
Getleft is a nice Windows client that can do this. It is very configurable and reliable.
Wget can, too, with the --mirror option.
Try using httrack (or webhttrack/winhttrack, if you want a GUI) to spider the web site. It's free, fast, and reliable. It's also much more powerful than primitive downloaders like wget; httrack is designed for mirroring web sites.
Be aware that converting a dynamic page to static will lose you a lot of functionality. It's also not always possible - a dynamic site can present an infinite number of different static pages.
It's been a long time since I used it, but webzip was quite good.
It is not free, but for $35.00, I think your client won't go broke.
A quick google for offline browsers came up with this and this that look good..

I always used to use Dreamweaver for web work, but now I work in Emacs, with Filezilla for non-text file uploads. What I miss from Dreamweaver is the easy synchronisation feature in its file manager. Is there any simple opensource software that would fill this gap for me?
I prefer WinSCP as an FTP/SFTP/SCP client, and it's one of the few clients I've seen that supports synchonised browsing similar to Dreamweaver. SmartFTP is another one that does this, but it's not free.
See http://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_navigate#synchronize_browsing
Aptana does that and it's opensource; however, sftp support is not free. I would say it is the one of the better alternatives to webdesign. Give it a try, I've been hooked
Another plus feature is the integration of jquery, python, php, and svn. The pro version includes sftp support and cloud hosting, and i think it's around $100
