#2So Google really has hit the nadir of the wall that Microsoft hit when Gates testified before the Justice department. It's a tough day for all of us Google fan boys but it's time to look in the mirror and carefully consider the current reality.

#4> Around the same time Google redrafted its policies, making it a fireable offense to even look at certain documents. And let’s be clear, looking at such documents is a big part of Google culture; the company describes it as a benefit in recruiting, and even encourages new hires to read docs from projects all across the company. Which documents were off limits after this policy change? The policy was unclear, even explicitly stating the documents didn’t have to be labeled to be off limits.
Is such a policy legally enforceable or is it relying on the fact that Google can outspend them in a litigation?

What always baffles me is the term fanboy, how in this day and age do we still have people believing/having faith in a company.
They all did something abhorrent or yet to be caught doing it. And yet we have people who would seemingly jump into fire for a brand (even in face of damning facts).
Is this a form of ancient tribalism still at play?

Indeed, I don't get how people can get into "don't be evil" and other kind of corporate propaganda.
