I agree, but as 'Bill Gates' said on The Simpsons: "I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks."

Easily justified as good marketing. This #1 post on HN will Google (in various ways) much more than the cash they could have used to look like good guys, even if it wasn't done out of goodness.

Much more than the cash to handle potentially thousands of applicants who were in a similar position?

(Don't get me wrong, I do think large companies should be held to higher ethical standards, but we don't seem to be there yet.)
