Agreed. Google is starting to make Bill Gates look like the proprietor of a lemonade stand....

Try, but it would be one more competitor in the landscape. They have some brilliant people at Google.

Like many of the other posts have said, I wouldn't trust any company that has stock holders wanting a return on their investments to be looking out for our best interests.

I am not saying that this is wrong, for a company to want to make a profit, we all want to make money after all. But how much if enough? How much are the big wigs making compaired to everyone else in the company? How much of that money is turning around, and going back into the company? These are the big questions.

The "big wigs" are making precisely what they are worth as defined by the marketplace. If they weren't worth it, they would be fired. If they were worth more, someone else would hire them.

This applies to everyone who works there, not just the big wigs.

Actually Google is still run by the founders who are in their 30's, hold controlling stakes of the stock, and are worth billions already. I'd think that shareholders are at more risk than google's "customers"; especially since most of google's customers pay nothing, and have no contract; while most shareholders bought stock that will only hold it's value if google continues to increase their profits by 50% a year. I'll worry about Google when they automatically set me up with a new two year contract when I change the settings on my Gmail account with a $175 termination fee. (ahem telcos)
