The joy of context

From a Bill Gates interview with CNet:

So that would be the philosophical difference between Microsoft and what Google is up to at this point?

Gates: Well, we don't know everything they are up to, but we do know their slogan and we disagree with that.

Google's best known slogan is of course "Do no evil". (Naturally, that's not what Bill is referring too, as is clear from the article, but the opportunity to remove the quote from it's proper context to twist it's meaning is far too tempting to pass up).
