Then: Don't be evil. Today: Google is the new MS. XMPP kicked out of Google Talk, RSS put on a hold. If there wasn't Firefox, Chromium would be burried. I'd even wish that Bing would be more successful, let alone DuckDuckGo.

  Hurry Up and Die Don't be Evil my Ass "Google is NSA" - PUTIN Now Putin got something right that the majority of USA people will not even admit, that the freely type their own dossier into the NSA/GOOGLE database daily, where all their private thoughts are kept forever in every form so that Google can sell their private data to the highest bidder, which is usually a criminal ( police ) intensity. It's way beyond EVIL at this point, It's way beyond Goebbels or Hitler, or Stalin; google with their tracking and their big-data, its 100% Pre-Crime 'Minority Report', the bad is that its only 99% good, so that if 1 in 100 are sent to Room-101 (NSA torture chamber) google doesn't care, cuz it knows that badge-holders will never have to see the inside of rm-101, its only for little people. Don't be evil my ass, If your NOT google, then you are little People.

Choosing not to do everything you consider good does not make one evil. You're going to have to work a little harder to demonstrate that "Google is the new MS".

I have some sympathy with this but I think people ignore a lot of the stuff which Google just gives away with some fairly light advertising. Think about navigating with Apple maps, or trying to organise your life with Hotmail or trying to do anything without Google search. Some of their product decisions wind people up but I think they do a lot more good than harm.
