Those Bastards at Google

Post by trilobyte » Wed Aug 24, 2011 8:29 am

I was kind of surprised to see this bit of news buried on the page of the Chronicle, and not even mentioned on the national news - apparently Google's paying all the right people.

Google Settles Pharmacy Ad Probe For $500 Million

Apparently, Google got busted for knowingly allowing all those Canadian Pharmacies to use their engines for spam delivery (those fuckers!). Busted so bad that they're forking over half a billion dollars in penalties. They've a long way from the 'do no evil' days...

They're google for fucks sake,
They can pretty much do what ever they want!

People say that the world is going to end in 2012. But they are wrong, Mayans predicted a super merger between Home Depot, Google, and Wal-Mart, and that will be the end of the world.
It will create the super power Home-Google-Mart, it will be so powerful that not even Apple or McDonnalds will be able to fight its forces. From there it will take 7 years before you either work for Home-Google-Mart or have been slain by Home-Google-Mart.
Why don't ya stick your head in that hole and find out? ~piehole
Plan for the worst, expect the best. Make the most out of it under any conditions. If you cannot do that you will never enjoy yourself. ~CrispyDave
