Cozying Up to Dictators and Hooligans
Wow. Do anyone think that it is a co-incidence that Tibet is not available in Google Earth? How interesting. It seems that 'Do No Evil' really should be 'Do no evil, as long as it isn't too hard'. What courage. What crap.
I might just be a tired, bitter old Internet had, but this type of hypocrisy cannot stand -- eventually, even Google will suffer from their hubris. And I hope so -- not because I'm jealous (well, maybe not too jealous), and not because I don't like/use their products, it's just the sanctimonious attitude that they have taken cries out to be adjusted -- a humiliation is in order. Then, cooler, saner minds might prevail there.
Otherwise, I think we are descending into some Orwellian morass, where simple phrases like 'Do No Evil' actually mean the opposite. I hope not.
