This is not entirely true. Wonderbread and sugar are not the same thing. Most of the Wonderbread is quickly turned into glucose, a sugar easily handled and stored as glycogen in the body. Glucose will also to some degree trigger the full feeling. Sugar (sucrose or high fructose corn syrup) will split quickly into about half glucose and half fructose. In a normal not already diabetic person, glucose is not a problem. The fructose does not trigger a full feeling and needs to be processed in the liver like ethyl alcohol is. It is not easily used by the body and has a high tendency to store fat. The lack of triggering the full feeling will cause more to be eaten. Large amounts of fructose without fiber (like in fruit) is a very big problem. Without processing foods in order to create highly concentrated fructose, any fructose consumed in raw foods (except juice) would almost always be combined with significant amounts of fiber which slows absorption as well as its bulk providing a full feeling.

Note that wheat and similar grains also have many issues which can lead to overeating, including that some of the proteins can trigger opioid receptors. Modern wheat also has twice the gluten/protein than traditional wheat varieties.

Also note that many breads also add some high fructose corn syrup. This is also true of many other common foods like ketchup.

no, the point is that this may be the case now, but according to you, they should just give up a cede the entire market to Apple forever

If iPad is Mercedes, then there is plenty of room for BMW, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche, Tesla, Lexus, Audi, Saab etc.

In any case, there are many different Mercedes models, many of which are not only as fast as they "need to be."

As the sophistication of tablet applications increases, the current tablets will not be fast enough, so ones that do push the processor/memory envelopes will remain useful longer.

That analysis is useless because there are two different markets being compared. The first is a dead one where the product is not being produced and has already set a consumer expectation of a much lower value. The hypothetical one would be viable market where the product is still being produced with expectations of upgrades and at least the potential of a viable app market.

About as brain dead as privatizing parking meters. It may bring more government revenue for a short time, but will end up costing more money in the long run, especially after, due to lack of maintenance so that short term profits can be maximized, it has to be bailed out by the government. In the meantime, fliers will pay more to fly with less safety.

You're against an expression of free speech because you don't like the comments. You have a great future as a censor, one of the few careers with ever expanding opportunities.

"SEU95 is inserted in the back orifice" - no thanks

The timing of this is interesting. Are they hoping to take away heat from poor old Rupert?

This is a blatant falsehood. Please do not insult monkeys and baboons, it is well accepted that politicians are invertebrates and have no recent relationships to primates.

Precise timing is likely to be difficult. It would immediately set off an explosive detector and probably over-excite any nearby bomb sniffing dogs.

$20,000 is not the median savings account size for all Americans. They have no where that amount of liquid capital. The national median household net worth is about $90,000 the majority of which is in homes and retirement. I doubt most Americans even have a savings account.

No problem, the newly elected house of representatives can fix that.

Bullshit, he's being tortured to get him to say what they want him to say.

What a pile of nonsense, the CIA, the military and the executive continuously lied to congress about the state of the war. Any limitations placed on action in Vietnam were done to keep the Chinese out of the war, the military had already learned that mistake in North Korea. The fact is, had they been honest about the cost of the war, they would not have been allowed to start it in the first place.
