Business is not civil rights movement. Even if a human rights activist builds a business, compromise has to be taken time to time for its primary purpose as a business entity and it's more complex matter than something anyone can simply call hypocritical. Therefore, I highly appreciate Google for having made the difficult decision this time, encouraging it to make more in the future.

Right, google's mantra is "do no evil" which is worlds different than "do good".

I believe the motto is "Don't be evil." I keep seeing "Do no evil" in places, including on large news sites, which is odd, because it completely lacks the sense of humor of "Don't be evil."

I get nothing on that link. Perhaps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil ?

Too right, I stand happily corrected.
