Corporate shennanigans will always be an issue with super-corporations. I prefer to take a neutral stance to see and observe what will eventually unfold. OSYM's last blog post..Aralıktaki Sınav için Son Gün

i like to look at this in the terms of Services verus Cost(instead of evil)

For example free email unlimited, great search engine
cost , some ads, some statistal tracking

The services are just so good that the cost is so fractional

They are good but slowly becoming evil unlike other companies who are evil from the start. I say they are evil because of paid links, they penalize sites who have paid links but Google Adwords is all about paid links, isn't this being hypocritical? I'm just saying...

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely – Junus

Skilling, Ebbers et al. plus others like Yang who drive their companies to the ground – were/are they evil? Absolutely because they thought they were God and what they did was “good” in their own sight.

We are having an endemic bout of evil in the global meltdown, evil brings chaos and sufferring, originally masquarading as good. Try contacting Google “customer support” Ha. Also, there is billions being made in click fraud – I can tell you how to avoid detection and make thousands per day – Google can not admit it to fix the problem, this is evil.

By the way Google search used to be better than others but now I find it good but not the best for some subjects. They realize this and thus the push to get 100% of the market.

Not evil. Well, not most the time.

Many people lump any/all truly successful companies into the ‘evil’ category…..not based on facts…..just because.

Google’s good outweighs their bad by a long, long shot.

I think Google has matured beyond the “Don’t be Evil” stage into a focus on their business model and a consistently respectful and intelligent treatment of their customer base. My congratulations go to Eric Schmidt for this.

I note that there is no mention of “evil” in their latest 10Q, for example.

Good thing, too — “Don’t be Evil” was an absurdly sophomoric statement, as well as being deeply hypocritical. For a company that has built their business on copyright theft and pornography (remember that first interview with Playboy?) to use “Don’t be Evil” as their company motto; well, that belongs in a Will Ferrell comedy.

Evil?? What is evil to you may not be to somebody else.. All depends.

But all jokes aside, Google is the “Sweetheart” of the net if you compare them to some of the other companies
