Google's Ten Golden Rules

Posted by Zonk on from the there-needs-to-be-less-evil dept.

selvan writes "Newsweek is running an article entitled Google's Ten Golden Rules. The article, by Eric Schmidt and Hal Varian, going into the philosophy behind the company." From the article: "Don't be evil. Much has been written about Google's slogan, but we really try to live by it, particularly in the ranks of management. As in every organization, people are passionate about their views. But nobody throws chairs at Google, unlike management practices used at some other well-known technology companies. We foster to create an atmosphere of tolerance and respect, not a company full of yes men."

    Sorry, there's no test that I'm aware of to measure "faith," so I'm not sure I can help you on that... And I am NOT suggesting that scientific atheists or agnostics are incapable of following the Ten Commandments, if you got that impression. They tend to be highly educated and ethical people, in my experience. Also, they generally do have faith... IN SCIENCE. I'm speaking in generalities about the entire population, which Slashdot obviously doesn't coincide with.

    Do you really believe that?
    How can I convince you that it's not true?
