Esther Dyson about the different philosophies of Google and Yahoo:
Yahoo is “intelligent design”; Google is “blind evolution”.
More detailed quotes and an audio recording here.
When I read this, the first thing I associated with the term intelligent design was the pretty nonsensical anti-evolutionary belief propagated by some so-called scientists trying to ban evolution science from classrooms. I personally would not like to have my company labelled like that.
But besides this, after reading the article I asked myself
If Esther was right, what would this mean to Yahoo and Google ?
