Google does not always follow the policy “Don’t be evil”
Google seems to be showing their boasting motto “Don’t be evil” just upto the words, but not proving it true. This is what says LimitNone, a small company which develops softwares.
I am a Google fan, but not always! Here’s the story what happened with LimitNone and Google in the past year -
LimitNone developed a software in 2007, which lets people to move calender items from Microsoft Office to Google platform. Also the email contest can be moved from MS office. LimitNone entered a partnership with Google senior developers and Google was not supposed to copy any part of the software.
To still show good grace towards Google, LimitNone changed the name of the software from “MY GRATE” to “gMove”, and everything was good until Google made a copycat software called “Google Email Uploader”, which is just something like a disaster to LimitNone.
Ray Glassman, CEO of LimitNone said
“Google claims its core philosophy is ‘Don’t be evil’ but, simply put, they invited us to work with them, to trust them — and then stole our technology”.
Google is sued for $1 Billion for violating Illinois Consumer Fraud Law. This is the best that could happen to them for their stealing of the software.
thats very bad on the part of google.

Reply to this comment:Wow. That’s a good chunk of money. It won’t really affect google too much. I hope Google doesn’t take the same route that Microsoft did and stomp its other competition just to move ahead.
