  1. Googles dirty little secret by oskard · · Score: 0, Troll

    They couldn't even get a camera in. They had to take the photo on a Treo 600. Is this some huge conspiracy? Google doesn't want you to delve into their Bat Cave.

    Actually, I would STILL trust Google if they were producing weapons of mass destruction. Just not Microsoft.
