The Go language, Chrome OS, the recently announced redesign of the backend storage architecture that's supposed to replace MapReduce for some tasks. These are the things that I remember off the top of my head without going through the stuff they keep announcing all the time.

[Edit:] Things like native client and V8 might also be worth mentioning.

Apart from these, Google has come up with the WebP image format which may make internet significantly faster than what it is today.

Furthermore Google hosts jquery files on its servers, which for many people is a godsend. While it is a simple thing to implement, it ranks highly on how it benefits websites (and thus the end users of those websites)
