Google Corporate Information: Software Principles

Google Corporate Information: Software Principles
a beauty - wish these were indelible rules. Especially:

Installation - We believe software should not trick you into installing it.

Disclousure - it should inform you of its principal and significant functions.

Removal - It should be easy for you to figure out how to disable or delete an application

Keeping Good Company - Application providers should not allow their products to be bundled with applications that do not meet these guidelines.

These are guidelines that I think every programmer can agree on (the white hat kind at least) - I think violations of these rules from the "the top" --- nice to see that Google makes it clear from the top. Wish a certain 3 letter company did the same.

I also like the fact that as Google has violated their rules, they have made public attempts to correct them.
