I don't think they're evil. They're a business doing business. But Google is giving itself a black eye by removing the 'don't be evil' quote that they themselves put there. It just opens the door for any further actions of theirs to be classified that way, at least in fun.
They are also now duplicating behavior that they themselves ridiculed in the past.
In the end, Google is a juggernaut and this too shall pass. But it is pretty easy to make jibes at them for being hypocritical.
