Google's Software Principles

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday May 20, 2004 @08:28AM from the do-no-harm dept.

Nick writes "Google has just posted a new set of "Software Principles" at their site on how they feel about spyware and the like. It is interesting to see the company whose motto is "Do no evil" trying to get the rest of the internet world to follow, with proposed principles dealing with upfront installation, clear behavior, simple removal, and keeping good company. The question is, though - why would a company who makes spyware (whose very nature is to be secretive and hard to remove) want to follow Google's principles?"

The Art of Unix Programming

It really is an amazing book. Sure it has a slight anti-C++ bias, but it still covers a great deal of topics with depth.
