Google's famed business ethics mantra is "Do No Evil." Easier said than embodied, though, for the Internet search titan. The SF Chron reports on Google's submission to government censorship of search results on the Chinese version of Google. See this graphic example of the Communist-dictated filtering Google is promulgating, in order to stay in the burgeoning market.

Ideas for new Google mantra:

"Do no evil...unless there's a LOT of money at stake."

"Do no evil.....most of the time."

"Do no evil.....unless your competitors are doing it, too."

"Do as we say....not as we do."

"Hey, the camel's nose is in the tent - just you wait."

Meanwhile, Microsoft has taken my advice on cleaning up its act in China. At least, to an extent.
