- prakashk 16y ago> One in thousands. What if that one person is one who thinks "if you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place"[1], and who just happens to be the CEO of the company? Would you still trust the company totally? What the head honcho of the company says _is_ its agenda. I love Google for the cool things they have done and continue to do. But it does get scary to think how big they have become. [1] http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48975 http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/48975
