Disclosure: I work at Google.

I wanted to explain myself when I downvoted you, but I am just going to say that I would rather be a glasshole than be that bitter.




Disclosure: I work at Google.

Or changing the world one ad click and one snoop at a time. (since you started it)

Fine. Being bitter, assuming I am, can be transitory. Once your sell your soul for a salary, you can never get it back.

You have a couple of years before "Googler" becomes a toxic word. Maybe less, given Larry's focus on squeezing every penny out of the ecosystem, so plan accordingly.


I downvoted you, and I don't work at Google.

Get off the high horse - tell me what you do for a living and I can find just as morally damning words to say about you. Unless you are curing cancer at an orphanage for paraplegics, the morality of your career is, like the rest of us, more gray than it is black or white.

So stop it with the meaningless emotional rhetoric and attack someone's arguments on its own merits. To pretend that all Google does is shove ads in your face, and that their only accomplishments to date have been so, is either brutally ignorant or blatantly and deliberately disingenuous.
