Google is bad for business?? this is an utterly bizarre statement.

HTC seems to be doing well for itself tooling their machines with Google android.

Consider the potential revenue business generates from Adwords. Or freeing small businesses from having to run and manage their own email systems.

My favorite example is the benefit a myriad of startups gained from having access to Google API's like maps, and the benefit business gets from being easily found on a map, a bar for instance is a business too, i find them with Google maps.

You also dont seem to qualify having the most advanced search engine in the world a benefit for businesses, talk about a tremendous impact on the entire ecosystem.

I could go on, with ease. but i think you might get the point, your view of business benefit is too narrow, your sharp dichotomy between business and consumers is false as well, businesses are consumers of other businesses too.
