I remember when googles catch phrase was "don't be evil."
I miss non evil google.
Oh they were always evil. They just pretended not to be.
Once upon a time, when they were the scrappy upstart disrupting shitty search engines like Yahoo and Altavista, there was a moment when they were awesome.
The tipping point was going public, in my opinion.
Going public usually makes everything worse.
I miss when they at least tried to pretend.
