Oh My God!  Google costs money to run?  All this hand wringing about Google
adding commercial features and services really rubs me the wrong way.  As
long as they are clear about what they are doing, what is the real problem?
There is no free lunch and there never has been a free lunch.  Thanks to the
people at Google for finding a business model that works.
