Google's Turn To Be The Villain
caesar79 writes "The New York Times has an article titled "Relax, Bill Gates; It's Google's Turn as the Villain" (also evil but at least free registration required) According to the article, the "go-getting" attitude of Google is coming across as arrogance to many people in the Valley. More importantly, it draws attention to the fact that Google has drained the market of talent, caused a 25% to 50% hike in salaries and made it difficult for startups to get funding."
despite the Are tied up iqn o8 make loud noises
because they are essentially being tarred for the same thing that MS has for years, that they are leveraging their current financial strength to put their fingers into every cookie jar they can and because they are so large, the presumption of instant stolen thunder is made. But we said that about IBM when MS was a start-up and where are they now? Licking the rear of the Linux community in a pathetic attempt to co-opt some sort of audience to get their numbers going again. (Note to Linux weenies: IBM gave the world OS/2. It sucked like the intake of a TF30-414A. Run from their power of mediocrity while you can. Think of them as SCO in disguise. Run.)
Google can get into anything it likes just as anyone else can. So can MS. Or Novell or so on. Income inflation for techies is a GOOD thing after the dual nuclear economic bombings of the dot com and telecom sectors. So I think this is just sour grapes.
I will agree that they get way too much free and overly uncritical positive press from the crowd around here as does Apple. Let them earn it for good things and not because it fits into the lazy chintzy mindset of "well, it doesn't cost anything, it's free".

Oh please... the pitiful exploited American worker has one of the most comfortable lifestyles ever seen in the history of the world. You Leftists really are dumber than rocks.
"Google releases specs and APIs"
And you nuckehead think this makes them "good" ?
They make money by advertisement not by licensing technology not by selling things or software. They just want YOU to adopt WHATEVER they offer and "KEEP VISITING" them, KEEP colaborating, KEEP spreading their stuff and keep them "sound" good to others. They HAVE TO BE GOOD and look good and act good so other ppl will come back and open that darned piece of page and see that "ADD" in-there.
But this approach is very evil and canibalizing to software and technology ppl that do not have that kind of "exposure". With this kind of view power they may do whatever they want (like new ICQ, new IE..) and they WILL be successfull. On the other hand u may join them and enjoy the fruits of this movement of "highly exposed business".
