High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover 646

An anonymous reader writes "With its sweetener linked to obesity, some cancers and diabetes, the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) doesn't want you to think 'fructose' when you see high fructose corn syrup in your soda, ketchup or pickles. Instead, the AP reports, the CRA submitted an application to the FDA, hoping to change the name of their top-selling product to 'corn sugar.'"

There is a planned addition of a new cable, the Danice cable. This will secure a backup since Cantat3 is far too small to handle Farice cuts. On the whole though I think that the cost of power will be the dominant factor in all of this, that added to political stability (I.e nobody is about to touch the data centers and governments are elected rather then overthrown) will make Iceland feasible. However I don't think we will see it as the worlds main datahub since diversification is important here as elsewhere.
