    Also you can totally trust them because the corporate motto is “Don’t be evil”

      It never was a motto, it always was a command (because Google knows everything, like Santa)

        In retrospect, it was nice of them to announce the change to everybody.

    Wow, I feel fucking old as hell. I remember when this was true and it’s what differentiated Google from the others.

    Other search engines it was like page three, but Google had the right link, first choice, a lot of the time. Maybe you’d get down to the fourth or fifth link.

    They took over the market, then adopted every bad practice that set them apart (SEO notwithstanding).

    In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

        Douglas Adams

        Somehow I read this as Scott Adams and was confused for a minute… :-P

          I’d be willing to trade Scott for Douglas.
