Great example of the power of brand on our consciousness, and the power of "geek cred."

Jon Stewart - Good
his boss Viacom - Evil

Microsoft - Evil
their Xbox - Good

and MySpace, which no doubt started out good and went evil.

"Xbox AND Micro$oft on OPPOSITE sides?"

That's called hypocrisy. Geeks are just as bad at that as everyone else.

Xbox AND Micro$oft on OPPOSITE sides? Hello? Anyone home? [Yes, I agree with PtitPaladin.] BTY, you really should leave religious matters to the spiritual geeks who actually know what their talking about.

Hilarious pic though I would like to know what is the definition of good and evil for the person who made this pic. I know I wasnt supposed to ask this but couldnt help it.

Also note that anything that presents an opposing view to this doctrine will likely be buried on Digg, while bloggers prejudge court cases based on how "evil" they think the companies involved are.

I hate to state the obvious here, but you do know this is tongue-in-cheek, right? Point being that geeks are quick to criticize the prejudices of, say, religious people, but refuse to admit they have their own belief system which sometimes leads to irrational, cultlike behavior. The fact that most Digg users adhere to this diagram shows the groupthink at work.

Apple and Steve Jobs don't have the best business practices. Not to mention, Steve backdated stock options, which is illegal and evil towards his investors. I'm not saying Microsoft is any better (it's worse), but Apple is no angel either.

SEW,

Social bookmarking site. Considered a lame clone of Digg.

How can XBox be Good and Microsoft be Evil ???

How is Netscape Evil?????

Are you referring to the Browser of the Social Bookmarking Site.

It is hard to imaging ANY of them being Evil
