What will Google
Do Next?
Google keeps coming
up with new ideas - but are they really new? And why is it
that they get off scot free doing many of the same things
for which Microsoft regularly gets bashed? John Dvorak asks
those questions in his latest column at:

My theory is that it's
because of their corporate motto: "Don't be evil." After all,
everyone who's been around politics at all knows that it doesn't
matter what you do, it's what you say you do that matters.
Public perception is everything. Microsoft just needs to come
up with a cool motto and all their PR problems will go away.
Suggestions for a great motto? Send them to us at feedback@wxpnews.com
and we'll print the best here next week.
