I guess it's understandable to be frustrated at the anti-Google sentiment if you are a Google employee and don't see anything bad happening internally, but don't turn this into some "HN vs. Google" men-in-costumes-wrestling-around-in-a-scale-model-of-Tokyo battle.
I'm not really frustrated with the anti-Google sentiment. Everyone hates everything, and I can accept that. It does bother me when people start hating things without really knowing why. (Evil, by the way, has very little to do with changing a privacy policy to be more readable or adding experimental features to products you like. Those are more unusual than anything else, and people react poorly to things that are unusual. Remember how the iPhone wasn't going to have any apps? It was the end of the world. Then Apple's experiment yielded results that said, "holy fuck, we need apps" and then everyone was happy again. The world evolves incrementally, and to move forward, sometimes you have to move backwards.)
