I'm not an audio developer, but I kind of feel the need

to defend Google a bit.
I used to work fulltime developing software at Google.

It was a great place to work.  Everyone I knew there was

dedicated to doing the right thing for the user...

when they mis-stepped,  like when the initial Buzz privacy

settings were unpopular, they tried to set things right quickly.

The only way I can see them ever becoming evil is if

they're bought out by, say, Oracle.  (And I fully expect some

people I knew in college now to come out and defend Oracle :-)
(I now work fulltime developing software at a startup.  It's fun being

at a small company again, but I do miss the massages, at least a little.)
