As much as I do agree with your comments, the sad truth is that evil is profitable. As long as the cost-cutting 'at all costs' mentality is the basis of the corporate culture, the consumers (who are quite brave, outspoken... even outraged... in the blogs or in the op-ed columns) keep on opening their pocketbooks, and the stockholders don't demand real change (apparently 5 years of stagnant stock performance is acceptable), then there's no reason to change from 'business as usual.'
As far as Google not 'being evil', I suspect that the target anthesis they had in mind was Microsoft, not Wal-Mart.
