No. The "do no evil" was a way of saying let's not be like Microsoft and allow ourself to engage in unfair business practices. Google is now like Microsoft.

- omonra 15y ago"That's like..your opinion, man" :) So if someone wants to say that Google is becoming like MSFT - say that (incidentally regarding MST being evil I recently read this: http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2012/01/antitrust_kills.html http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2012/01/antitrust_kills....) But I think that we should not dilute the definition of Evil.

- deanproxy 15y agoWhy not? Everyone has already diluted the meaning of the word "greed" successfully. Might as well start on "evil" now. :-) But in all fairness, non-poaching agreements are not right. What if every tech company did this? You better hope you never have to leave that company after they hire you... Cause otherwise you'll have to consider a career change.
