Every company gives to charity. It's tax deductible and great PR. Think of the most evil fortune 100 company you can come up with and then go look how much they're giving in charity. Did Google's founders join Warren Buffett and co. on donating half their wealth to charity?

My point is that people should stop looking for motivations in these companies and see them for what they are: companies who provide us some service or product. Especially since if you force the issue and make us compare who is more benevolent I think a strong argument can be made for Jobs being more benevolent than Larry and/or Sergey (and again, it doesn't matter).
