Google's "Don't do evil" credo
Just read on the BBC site that Google has officially created a charitable fund to help investment towards social works and also help socially progressive companies around the world. Linky here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4333942.stm

This is the first I heard of it and on the surface I'm glad that they are doing this. Also, I am heartened by the fact that they do have the phrase "Don't do evil" in their mission statement. I guess the trick is to see if this can be maintained over the long haul. In any case, kudos to Google for just doing it. When it works, I hope that it will be a standard that other companies will look up to.

2. Freepers will have to boycott Google, then.
They personify evil.

3. Ignorance is not evil
It's just one of evil's best tools.

4. I hold thinking people to a high standard.
Well, that lets freepers off the hook, I guess.
