I think we already had a thread about this argument and agreed that Google is indeed evil.

These are the main reasons:

They forked the Linux kernel and didn't care to fix the incompatibilities their code introduced. So the kernel maintainers deleted their code from the kernel. http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/andro...-problems.html

They travelled around when they created their Street View service, taking photos and breaking the privacy of lots of people.

In the process, they also stole passwords and e-mail addresses wherever they found open wi-fi networks.

They disclosed a security vulnerability in Windows to the general public before Microsoft even had the time to fix it.

Their toolbar collects the list of URLs that you've visited and sends them to Google, even if you disable this functionality.

Their viewpoint on privacy is simply unacceptable.

They patented the layout of having a single text box and two buttons on a screen.
Just how ridiculous is that?
