Google -- A Stillborn Revolution


Google has promised to be a /good/ company.

But everything it has done so far appears to be elitist, and status quo.

Witness:

1. They claim fairness, but yet award the owners of the company a different
class of stock, worth 10 of the common stock. What kind of Missouri
Compromise is this? What's next, those who don't use Google are 3/5th of a
man?

2. They sell out to China -- and bastardize their search engine -- the prime
driver of their success -- just to gain marketshare.

3. Feedback. There is none. Google cannot be contacted in any reasonable
way. Emails are responded to with robot answering systems that would
leave the best Soviet bureacrat irate.

4. Stealing public IP. Google Groups is a vast theft of Usenet IP. It was
done in total violation of the copyright laws. Google put its imprimateur
on top of Usenet posts, published by millions of individuals. It is part
of their top draws, and while it doesn't display ads directly, it enhances
the Google image -- at the expense of millions of unpaid knowledge workers.

5. There are no public Google Usenet newsgroups. At least Microsoft has
the balls to put newsgroups on Usenet for people to whine and moan.
Google does not -- the walls of the Google Politburo are 12 feet of
granite.

The fact that they didn't sell to M$ (you KNOW Billy wanted to buy
them) puts them in my "good guy" book.

Hi John Bailo,

You can subscribe to Google.Public.S upport.General .

One could easily argue that Google and Microsoft
should be more regulated or even make a government agency.

Microsoft's on the way down, so its no longer important.

With Google, I just hope the competition can get a run on them before they
get too locked in to being the dominant search engine.

They have a lot of flaws -- their search methodology is fundamentally flawed
-- so I have no doubt they'll crash shortly.

Hi John Bailo,

Re: Google.Public.S upport.General,

Free.TeraNews.C OM has it, but it's only two weeks worth...
a grand total of 40 messages.

FreeNews.NetFro nt.NET also doesn't have it.

I recently tried out the Google "top coder" contest, as a C++ coder. I noticed immediately that they expected me to know STL. To which I say, what the fuck?! I may be missing something, but at what point when learning C++ was I supposed to have picked up STL? I ask because at every job I've had, and every job interview for that matter, whenever STL comes up it's not I, but a manager who says effectively yuck, we don't use that crap.
