At least Apple helped in their version of this. Google ignoring their own technology and customers is the epitome of Be Evil.

- hakaaaaak 14y agoWhat I never understood is why Google's motto wasn't "Be Good". Logically and linguistically, "be good" is simpler than "Don't Be Evil", even if they aren't logically equivalent. And, as any psychologist will tell you, you don't say or think what you are trying to avoid; instead, you focus on something else that achieves the same goal, so if you were trying not to be evil, the word evil shouldn't even be in the motto. If they had focused on "Be Good", perhaps they would have fully instituted good service from the beginning and embraced personal customer contact.
- klearvue 14y agoBecause "Be Good" can be ambiguous, e.g. it's also equivalent to "Don't Be Bad [at doing something]".
- jfoster 14y agoIsn't there anything between good and evil?
- wiredfool 14y agoChaotic neutral?
- mike_esspe 14y agoProbably because it's easier to agree on what is evil, than what is good.
