"Google making the world better" bollocks

I found, via Daringfireball, an article where an old employee from Google, and longstanding supporter of Google, Nelson Minar, expresses his disappointment with the current status and strategy of that company.

I was reading it and found this sentence:

But I think Google as an organization has moved on; they're focussed now on market position, not making the world better.
I don't know if this guy is ingenuous enough to believe (or at least, doing it in the past) that Google's goal was "to make the world better".

Making the world better my bollocks.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, Intel and on and on: they want to make money. Their strategies differ, and I love some products of some of those companies. But their goal is the same: business.

Now, "making the world better"??

Yeah, sure.
