I think Google get a lot of unfair stick for making money, yes they are doing a lot of lame things to increase the gross income but they are still innovating, think about the cross hardware mobile phone OS they are developing, they are leading semantic web search research and they are giving us more control and information with webmaster tools.
They really annoy me sometimes and the grip they have on the web is a little scary but it could be a hell of a lot worse.
