    I think we all like Jon when he was meddling with "evil" companies. How do we feel now that he is locking horns with the geeks' uncontested favorite company? I'm all for raising a little hell when the intents of a company are less than honorable, but leave the good guys alone. Not to say Google can do not evil, just that they haven't yet.
