search result.

I like listening to Leo, et al., but I found it hypocritical that these
content producers were upset that Google was being too presumptuous by
offering a free content service that interferes with their offering.
The previous week they were asserting that school IT staff would be
crazy to not take advantage of free Google Apps, but they had no
discussion of how it might interfere with a school's existing services
or their academic and research missions.
