What is this thing called Google? February's

morality. The optional readings are about two
recent suits against Google and the law that
makes companies or individuals liable for linking
to sites they do not control.

WHEN? Tuesday, Feb. 11th

WHERE? Cafe Allegro

READ WHAT??? 

Google vs. Evil

The world's biggest, best-loved search engine
owes its success to supreme technology and a
simple rule: Don't be evil. Now the geek icon is
finding that moral compromise is just the cost of
doing big business.
