"Don't be evil"
-
I actually didn't know they had this motto. I googled it (cough), found a Wikipedia page about it and on there this note: Google now appears to have dropped the original motto altogether (a carefully reworded version remains on the aforementioned Google Code of Conduct as of 10 April 2015, "You can make money without doing evil" [..]) :rolleyes:

Google is king when it comes to violating it's own motto "Don't be evil" :laugh:
“Everything is simple when you take your time to analyze it.”
In the future, when we are all using driver-less Google cars and you make a statement like that, you'll die in a freak car 'accident'.

True, good and evil are like best buddies, non can exist without the other. Is it even possible to run a success business or company without being slightly evil?

Inverted perceptive, black can be white, good can be bad and vice versa. :omg:
“Everything is simple when you take your time to analyze it.”
Minus 20 points for missing the reference.

It's more of a guideline.

Evil serves a very important role. Without evil, we wouldn't know what good is. Thus, evil is simply a "lesser good". Therefore, Google is good. QED. Marc

It's an anagram of "Embody Evil". (Hey, that's about as accurate as half the statements made in meetings, and there's a chance he's dylsexic, and I'll get away with it)

It's an anagram of "Violent Bed" if that helps?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm sure it would help someone; just not sure whom.

Because they're 'projecting'...they blame everyone else for their own shortcomings ie: they're evil. You see this a lot...for example, people who 'promote awareness' seem to have a severe lack of it themselves.

I thought Godel proved that a system can't prove its own consistency unless it is inconsistent. So, Google is bad :-D

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

My favourites are the conspiracy theorists who say that we should have secret meetings to discuss how to deal with all the conspiracies.

Google represents everything soulless and wrong.

What?! No, I didn't! It's a plot, isn't it?! Someone in the group is trying to get one over on me! We need to discuss this. Choose a date -- and don't tell the others!

I rather read it as an acknowledgement.. yes, it's possible; you are free to choose so, but why would we?
