Sins of Google

Google has always been evil. This fact has actually been encouraged by its corporate slogan of 'do no evil'. Because corporations as per the laws of systemantics accept reality as it's reported. And reporting oneself as not being evil entrenches the self-belief of not being evil, in contravention to any and all facts presented.

Google's evil oozes out in its evil design. The latest sin it's committed is the redesign of google calculator, with buttons and shit. What can be said about this except vomit-worthy?

Prior to that was google's redesign of gmail into something feature-cluttered and again vomit-worthy.

Prior to that was google's redesign of its search page, again into something feature-cluttered. With a taskbar to the left that nobody used nor wanted. It took them forever to rip that shit out and I never even noticed until now when I consciously thought about it, presumably months later. Meanwhile, they ripped out the second search bar at the bottom of search results, something that I missed the very instant it was removed.

Poor design all across the board, always aimed at capturing the retarded idiots from among the general population. All about "ease of learning" for Cletus the retarded yokel. 80% of the general population wasn't enough, they feel the need to capture the 20% with an IQ below 80. Or perhaps it's simply about designers securing their jobs with makework projects at the expense of the company.
