Oops! Just one day after HP accepted my somewhat illicit order (stacked coupons totaling $400+ off a $1000 order for the ultimate travel notebook), HP announced a 17% drop in profits over last quarter.

Google’s “Do No Evil” creedo has been sorely tested. Google fan? There are hundreds of examples of Google’s inevitable evolution into a corporate power house of capitalist “evil.” See Google’s censorship collaboration with the Chinese government.
