That smacks of Manicheanism...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

No, no, it doesn't. Really, it doesn't!

I actually didn't know they had this motto. I googled it (cough), found a Wikipedia page about it and on there this note:
Google now appears to have dropped the original motto altogether (a carefully reworded version remains on the aforementioned Google Code of Conduct as of 10 April 2015, "You can make money without doing evil" [..])

Can they?  Why is Google obsessed with the word "evil" anyways?

Because they're 'projecting'...they blame everyone else for their own shortcomings ie: they're evil.
You see this a lot...for example, people who 'promote awareness' seem to have a severe lack of it themselves.

My favourites are the conspiracy theorists who say that we should have secret meetings to discuss how to deal with all the conspiracies.

Didn't you get the email invite to the one on Tuesday?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What?!
No, I didn't!
It's a plot, isn't it?!
Someone in the group is trying to get one over on me!
We need to discuss this. Choose a date -- and don't tell the others!

It's more of a guideline.

I rather read it as an acknowledgement.. yes, it's possible; you are free to choose so, but why would we?

In the future, when we are all using driver-less Google cars and you make a statement like that, you'll die in a freak car 'accident'.

It's an anagram of "Embody Evil".

It's an anagram of "Violent Bed" if that helps?

I'm sure it would help someone; just not sure whom.

Google represents everything soulless and wrong.

Really? What about everything that's soulless but not wrong? Or wrong but not soulless? Or just none of the above? Cos I always thought it was just a search engine which you are entirely free to live without.

Not that examples are so hard to come by, but doesn't an assertion like this deserve just a little support? What did google do that pushed you into the "evil" camp? It has to be more than just realizing that all ad brokers are evil by construction.
I mean, I know why google seems evil to me...
- Owning the internet verb for "to search", and adulterating search results with paid content is pretty evil.
- Announcing an open source operating system for phones and then after it is accepted spending years replacing it bit-by-bit with proprietary content is pretty evil.
- Conspiring with a cartel of Silicon Valley employers to tamp down wages for the geeky talent that makes it great is pretty evil.
I just wondered what you woke up to.

I woke up to the fact that Google's Android developer program is not fair. Besides that I have nothing against Google. I'am not in the "evil" camp, that's sounds bad

Saw that a couple days ago. So close, yet so far. You can see the poor little thruster trying to compensate for the tilt but it just can't get enough oomph.
