Just like the Firefox hoax, put down Microsoft until the sun comes up, but while you weren't looking Google and Firefox grew so big that they dwarf Microsoft in comparison. Google has it's fingers in everything now and that is a shame. Google will one day be the internet, operating system, iphone etc etc. so beware of what was once the good guy. As for Firefox, well it leaves me wondering especially with the new FF3. Microsoft invented windows and all things that run or ran on it, the little guy copied and is now the big guy.

One was enough to give Nightmares to Microsoft, 2nd one (if successful) may very well beat it!! I Guess, if Android works in the desired way for google, then it would be their 2nd biggest innovation!

Google has started to dominate search to such an extent that it has people wondering - is Google becoming the next Microsoft ?

I think you haven't gone overboard at all. Companies get big and then the only motive remains is to stay on top, NO MATTER WHAT. I liked that you pointed out RIM as its doing a good thing. However there is always that fine line between doing the right thing and being righteous. Terrorism versus giving up my privacy a little bit to control terrorism, I'll prefer the latter. But with Google, the double standards are just outrageous and the fact is that they will continue to do it because they can! Very well said. I think you haven’t gone overboard at all.

But the point is, usually the tag lines such as 'don't be evil' came when Google was a startup and it had an idea which it wanted to implement as a free source of info. So it was a gud market strategy to put up tag lines such as this, which offcourse offended Microsoft. Now Google is so big and powerful that it can do anything (like any big business but unlike some others as u pointed ITM), to realize its true dreams! I'm also a bit disappointed by the way Google has behaved but I hope in the future they would be more sensible regarding their core issues. I think pranav, to some extent you are correct.

I just feel very strongly about such privacy issues. Imagine if tomorrow, Google turns in your details to the authorities for some stuff you might write on Orkut. What pisses me more is the double standards. You quote things to fend off a $1 billion lawsuit, but easily disregard them when and as needed ? guys,

I was surprised to this on your blog. I agree to some extend on the double standards of google. But as Ryan pointed out there should be some thing which ran behind the screen which resulted in the disclosure of Orkut profiles.

The keyword to look out for here is 'legitimate'. As long as expression you make is within the realms of decency, it's ok...but the moment one tries to tamper with these norms, they need to be reprimanded. You yourself go on to give the reason for Google's reason for the disclosure. India is too big a business for Google when it comes to Orkut & no able businessman at that will let go of it. After all it's plain economics...right?? Hi Pranav,
