We were wondering in the office today how much Steve Wozniak is worth so we did a little GSearch on him and one of the top hits was an essay writing site (I won't do them the service of linking to their site).  They have a number of free "essays" of dubious quality and advertising to order custom essays:  "Need an essay for college?  We will write it for you!"  I knew this stuff was out there but I had never stumbled on it before.  It is such a shame that students are willing to sacrifice learning like that.  It just goes to show you that education is one of the few areas that people want to get less than they paid for.  Sigh.

The real slap in the face is their blatantly hypocritical stance on plagiarism:

Our company takes full responsibility for providing all custom-made essays. Our customers must be confident in receiving their very own unique papers, tailored especially for them. Each essay is checked using the most upgraded anti-plagiarism software. If our client finds his/her paper to be plagiarized, the writer responsible for the fraud will be fired, and the paper will be re-written and provided free of charge...

Our company does not promote or tolerate plagiarism in any way.

Sure...
