    I think google is trying to be a evil this time, by using rival's technology in their newly launched product, Chinese Pinyin Input Method Editor (IME).

    In a company that big, it's impossible to prevent anything bad from happening. The question is how they'll take care of it.

    Orkut was done by one (Orkut Büyükkökten) Google engineer that stole the code from a company he used to work at, and this turned to be the second largest social site in the world, as his "20% time" project.
