Notice: it was science that led to finding out they were wrong and the retraction.
People make mistakes, that why the normal scientific process is to check it.

Publishing is the first step of the peer review process.

The suicide is sad.

Stop confusing media reports, scientist, and Doctors.

The problem is reporting on science is horrid. So 'hey this study contradicts these other studies' becomes the head line, people start assuming it rendered the previous studies moot.

YOU're look show a sever lack of understand of how science works.
Are you saying when a guy claims to find a thing all medical treatments should just jump on board?

"dozens more are easy to find"
doubtful. More likely dozens of things that fit you bias because they take time to confirm and create actual treatments for.

There was an increase in hypertension

Too much salt has other effects beside blood pressure, so to tie this to the CDC report seem disingenuous.

Nope, not really.

MS has the worse marketing people. Well, in charge. I would wager the actual staff is pretty good, and very frustrated.

Or and engineering, science.

If the teams find having an iPad :) impeding decision making, they will have enough pressure to go back.

I've never heard anyone refer to a tablet as an iPad in a generic way.

Doesn't mean it's becoming a generic term, but I don't think it's anything like Kleenex or Xerox.

Interestingly, I have heard copying referred to Xeroxing in a long time.

Incorrect.
the NFL collect about a billion in licensing of product and the use of the three letters in this order 'NFL'.

That doesn't even get into all the special tax breaks the teams, owners, and players get.

350 Is the middle of the road.

A large segment of NFL fans will mindlessly buy what the NFL uses because they believe it makes them part of the NFL by proxy.
It's a good investment for MS.

thinking something is right for you, doesn't mean it is.

I don't care about what tablet you use.

What do you use to connect the device to your telescope?

Yes, all nerds are master of OS's and tablet recognition.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they enjoy astronomy more then what ever the hell you think a nerd should do.
