It's a pretty stupid motto from a public relations perspective. It practically begs for ironic counterexamples.

  >It's a pretty stupid motto from a public relations perspective. Wait a minute. It was a great motto when Microsoft was clearly the enemy. It was a subtle Us versus Oracle, MS... The motto gave Google massive developer mindshare and support for android and anything Google. I've got no data to back this up - but I believe Google's key early employees may have joined the company partly because of this motto. However, with no clear enemy in sight. And with Google's privacy stance, the motto's begun to backfire. The last sentence from the book Animal farm fits perfectly >Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
