In Sergey Brin: 'Microhoo! makes me nervous'

Coat

I get really annoyed when misquotes are used to substantiate a point of view or perspective. Take Google's "Don't do Evil" for example

The quote is "You can make money without doing evil" which puts a different context on the whole matter. See their philosophy "Ten things Google have found to be true". This is where the "Don't do Evil" quote comes from but it's not quite like that - it is "You can make money without doing evil" which is slightly different and just becasue it comes from "10 things Google have found to be true" it does not mean that Google have to follw them.

Mine's the one with the pocket protector and the Pedants Dictionery in the pocket.
