+1. I'm not at Google anymore, but what I've seen tells me that they're trying their best to find a balance between making money and becoming MSFT. I've seen decisions internally that conflict with this idealism, but nothing that's radically contrary to that rather generic philosophy. But we live in cynical times, and we are less generous towards the mistakes of some than others.

The idealism may get diluted or even lost, > but at least for now *I* feel that Google is trying to not be evil, even > sometimes to the detriment of short term profits. -- Sumant Srivathsan sumants.blogspot.com
