I find it fascinating to watch how companies reputations and image changes. Apple was considered 'beleaguered' for a long time after they were making tons of money. They are still considered to be 'about to fail' by many. Lots of people used to be pro Microsoft, then they were the evil empire, now they are in the process of trying to change their image. Google could do no wrong for a long time, now everything they do is wrong.

It'll be interesting to watch how Google handles this in the coming years.
