Come on. Acquiring a company is now considered evil?
Of course there are repercussions to any acquisition.
Many companies however have been acquired by Google and are not evil at =
all.
Many companies retain their independence after being acquired.
I have enjoyed Google's services for years and never once considered =
them evil.
Everyone should enjoy the fruits of their labor and the services they =
provide.=
