Good Luck, Google


I think Google is transferring from a do-no-evil (I believed it meant good-the-right-thing) company to a do-no-evil (I believe it is now: it is okay if it is not evil). It is the sign of going to its downturn.

At the very beginning, the founders wanted to create a real good search engine, that was what differs Google from its competitors. They could tell whether a feature is what user wants or not. But now it seems closer to what Google wants.

I am not sure how many people have seen the image above. But to me, it is the sign of collapse.

A big ad for Chrome on search engine homepage? A no brainer can tell Google is never google again. It is doing things against its principle. Even some internal Googler may claim this is also a test that can show the response of users, whether people feel annoyed, such as me, Google is still acrossing the line.

It is a pity that we shall start finding a good Internet service provider.
