The Twilight Report

I was reading /. today, (can’t remember what the subject was, but it isn’t really important), and a poster was portraying Microsoft as evil and google as honest, true, good and all American. Now, I know Microsoft has been persona non grata on the /. since before time began, but how is it that google isn’t at least equally evil? All they want to do is index our lives and sell it back to us one piece at a time. At least when Microsoft was the main corporate overlord in the computer industry, we had some pretence of privacy.
