It turns out Google really isn't evil after all. The proof? This tech support guy in the company's employ, who we hear is currently in discussions with the Vatican regarding his upcoming sainthood.
It's not that the old lady calling him is an angry old hag. In fact, she's really rather sweet.

Pac-Man's got to be right up there with Mario as one of the most recognisable videogame characters of all time. And because his basic design is simple, you can see him everywhere. Whenever you take a slice of pizza or cut a segment from a cake, he's there. Then the noise starts to go in your head: waka waka waka waka waka
