I guess I don't have to justify the nature of fan boys. People that have made there opinions up and will never change there minds no matter what. Anecdotally I've been dealing with the business side of Google for a while now, and in 2007 I decided that they where the most evil corporation on the planet. Firstly it started with sub-standard industry/customer tainting products. Destroying my friends companies but releasing inferior products for free. Then some extremely negative things to say from my time dealing with them over the OOXML ISO process, and more recently working in the news media. I lost all respect for open source community after that process (but thats another story). More recently dealing with a large news organistion I can say they are controlling manipulative, two faced, liars. I guess most people don't do business with them. My personal opinion is they are devaluing everything, restricting income streams to small and new companies, dictating business models, and most importantly the creation of the attention economy is destroying the arts.
