Have you ever heard of, or come across Googles Software Principals(http://www.google.com/corporate/software_principles.html)? I just did today while going to the Google Video Player download page, and after reading it, find it contradictory to their actions lately in regards to bundling their software with Dell computers, and possibly even HP computers, as well as bundling their software with other non-google software, for example, software by Sun and others – i cant think of any off the top of my head.
While, theres no question that Google's software is not ad-ware, or spyware, and for the most part it does not dramatically slow down the users computer – Google's new idea of trying to bundle their software with computers, and other software goes against their own Software Principals of which a link can be found at the bottom of their Google Video Player download page (http://video.google.com/playerdownload.html). I just looked at the Google Talk, Google Desktop, and Google Earth pages, and none of them seem to have a link to this software principals page.
I just find it ironic (scarcastically of course) that this company who has a motto which is Don't Be Evil has once again crossed the line into being evil, and simultaniously seemed to have violated their own policies.
Whats next???.... I'd love to see some reaction to this document |
