Editor's take: When Google was a lowly upstart, its motto was "Don't be evil." It even listed the phrase prominently in its corporate code of conduct. After the Alphabet restructuring in 2015, it was changed to the tamer-sounding "Do the right thing." It's telling that by 2018, Google no longer had a motto and had removed both phrases from the company CoC. It makes sense, considering the company no longer lives by either creed.

Users challenge distracting Google Maps pop-up ads that suggest "quick detours"
The good old days: When I was a young whipper-snapper driving off into unfamiliar territory, I had to buy a paper map. Yes, maps used to be printed on large sheets of folded paper that you could never refold. I would plan out my route in advance, and turn-by-turn directions were obtained by memorizing a list or by my navigator (aka wife, friend, brother) reading from my notes. Then, the internet ruined everything.
