I agree with you in terms of their interests. But, they did make the "Do know evil" comment. And while many public companies hire lobbying firms to promote their existence within public policy, most people simply have a problem with Google doing it. What interest do they have with public policy anyway? I guess global domination requires a few politicians on the take. Google is internet search and advertising, correct? Seems out of place.

Google is like any other public company. They have a vested interested in maintaining their valuation. The problem here is that most companies don't come up with an idiotic statement like "do no evil." A "non-evil" company will behave responsibly without having to proclaim it. The company (and people) to not trust are the ones who have to proclaim it. This is inane. Google is like any other public company. They have a vested interested in maintaining their valuation.

But for one, it started as an internal messaging system way back when Google wasn't even public and hiring Phd's. So with that said, if Gmail is what hiring the smartest people in the world delivers, then I stand with my original statement; that I have yet to see innovation on the scale I would expect.

Gmail, for example, was one of the first Ajax applications that helped popularize it. I would argue that most of Google’s most innovative products were developed internally.
