After reading this let there be no doubt: Google has officially moved up in rank from "sort of maybe evil" to "evil". You can't own any part of AOL and not be considered evil. It is simply not possible.

I wonder how the Google whores out there will reconcile this one?

There are many reasons to buy things. For instance, some people buy things so that they can smash them with a hammer. That would certainly be fun.

As soon as I found out that Google's "slogan" was "Don't be evil" I knew, right then and there, that they were going to find a way to be as evil as possible in as short an amount of time as they could.

Of course, Google is now starting to be sued for supposed violations of ridiculous patents. Ah, beautiful. Very Happy

Conversation after dinner last night:

Paolo: mumble mumble something

Jeremy: muble mumble Google OS...

Paolo: Yeah, I wish Google would just go away and die.

Jeremy: They are so... smug. Kinda like Netscape was.

Paolo: That thought gives me hope, then.

I think Google's search engine is great. For that reason alone I don't want them to "go away". However it is everything else they do that I can't stand.... I also think that they are quite overvalued and the day reality hits them - it's going to make a lot of people substanially less rich (but still rich nonetheless).

P.S. Happy Pre New Year!
