#*:Ironically, there is something rather cloudlike about the multiple complaints surrounding Google. The issues are best parted into two cumuli: a set of �public� arguments about how to regulate Google; and a set of �private� ones for Google�s managers, to do with the strategy the firm needs to get through the coming storm.

1. A mound or heap.
