is Google evil?

I ask this question after I came across following incidents recently

• Spotters poring over satellite images housed on the popular Google Earth service have spied what appears to be two topless sunbathers in the Dutch city of The Hague soaking up the rays. Full article...
• AOL published the details of 23 million searches made by 650,000 of its customers over three months this year. The searches were carried out by Google, from which AOL buys in its search functions. Full article

The second incident is not entirely Google's fault. But, collectively it made me think how much of a person's privacy is being infringed/invaded by Google. It makes me wonder if Google is not paying enough attention to the privacy issues or are they ignoring them in their pursuit to dominate the industry?

It's unfair to single out Google. All search engines are collecting information. But Google's sheer popularity and their raft of services makes them more vulnerable and of course their famous corporate motto "Don't be evil" attracts more scrutiny.
