I have read what you have written. Your assertion that Google is turning into a greedy corporation is against the curve. The curve I speak of is the view of reality holding some companies as "evil," that is selfish and greedy and other corporations as "good," selling a quality product at lower margins for the benefit if the common man.
Consider AMD, a microprocessor company who sells high performance cpus at a very marginal cost. Now, while processors sold by AMD are comparatively slow to AMD's rival in the microprocessor business, Intel, the chips are still very fast. Even more than this, AMD is seen as the "good underdog" corporation fighting against the "evil galactic empire" of Intel to sell microprocessors at a low price. The image of the do-gooder, the notion of a large conglomerate fighting on behalf of the little guy is obviously a romantic image, keenly serving business interests. Likewise, Google is seen as "fighting for the little guy" against Microsoft thus upholding mystique of "good guy."
