dukeya!

How does Google get away with this? So it's not murder, but how is this not evil? I suppose one rationale would be if Google itself is to be worshipped, and any ends justify the means.

What am I talking about? See screenshot above and check out what ZDNet has to say about what "shady Google Toolbar" does now.

It's somewhat understandable given how much spyware is out there messing with your browser settings without notice, but check out what Google does even when a user tries to change the setting themselves.

Which sounds nicer to you? Google or some crazy complicated URL? (Oh, it's MSN.)

Click here for a good overview of all it's goodness. 

So what do you think?

1) Google should stop behaving like spyware.

2) Yahoo! and Microsoft should just do the same thing.

3) You like that Google does this, but wouldn't like Yahoo! and Microsoft to do it.

Be honest.

Thx,
