@calmeilles @jwz @nilesh This is the thing which seems to have passed everybody by: when Google dropped the 'Do no evil' bye-line, that was a direct indication that they were now going to do evil (otherwise they wouldn't have dropped it), and nobody cared about that.

@khleedril @calmeilles @nilesh It was always bullshit. (Actually the term-of-art is "bluster".) They always defined "evil" as "lack of fiduciary duty to shareholders". Certainly the term wasn't defined in the TOS or articles of incorporation. I'm sure the only reason they scrubbed it was merely the lawyerly instinct to delete anything that reflects personality or humor.
