Desite the "Do no evil" mantra, Google is still a public company focused on profits with fierce competitors. The fact that they're generating mountains of cash shouldn't give them carte blanche to solve the problems in the world. I think a better idea is for Larry and Sergey to use their gain from Google's IPO to buy our SCO. It would definitely be an interesting act of charity for a newly minted billionaire...

I have been posting lately that Google needs to and might just be competing with IBM not Microsoft in building next generation 'big iron' internet based services. You are thinking different and that is a key to Google really making a good move at growing to justify their mkt potential. I like it Brad.
