And true, shareholders have lots of power. Maybe people should re-think the whole system.. something between good ol' shareholding and depository receipts.. You still don't have me convinced when it comes to Google though. :P The way google treats its products and customers, isn't that also what makes it so popular? I mean.. would (the evil) shareholders really be so narrow-minded that they'd go machiavelli on us? I seriously doubt that. And then there's also the fact that a lot of shareholders are actually people working at google itself. I really don't believe in the automic "evilness" of shareholders. I just don't. :) I think reality isn't as bad as people love to think. Then again.., I might be terribly mistaken and smack my head against a brick wall one day for saying all of this.
