ok now that the scary guy is not directly behind the wheel anymore....will goog get less evil? Or will page hold the course straight into the fiery pits!

Good question.

Most people have a difficult time understanding that Google is not about the money with Page and Brin. It's about being the best, about innovation, about having people say "wow" or "cool." Perhaps Schmidt was just not enough fun.

I am one of those who believe that Google is far away from being evil, although I'm not the fan I was a few years ago.

Google is always very, very interesting. Hard to see it being more interesting than it has been. But, I'd predict Google will not become less interesting.
