I'm pragmatic as well. What I find frustrating about this blatant Google fanboy-ism is that it is hypocritical on its face: any normal company thing they do gets trumpeted as "don't do evil! Weeeeee!" and every evil thing is defended with pragmatism. They're just a big public tech company. They're no more good/evil than Apple, Microsoft or anyone else and it's really frustrating watching otherwise intelligent adults behaving as though they were somehow different.
