The Semantics of EvilCategories: Reporter's Notepad
Bill Gates and Eric Schmidt
The chiefs of Microsoft and Google traded barbs on a panel Friday
afternoon. They were discussing Google's decision to enter China with
a self-censored search function.
Speaking about the Google credo "Don't be evil" CEO Eric Schmidt
explained how the company weighed the decision to self-censor in
China for more than a year before making the decision.
"We even made an evil scale and decided it was more evil not to go in
than to go in," Schmidt said.
On hearing that, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates muttered into his
microphone: "That's do less evil."
In response, Schmidt said: "I don't want to get caught up in semantics."
