As Dr. Lustig (the "sugar is poison" guy) says, when nature delivers a poison it often provides the antidote. For fruits, the antidote is fiber. Juice removes much of that fiber. My grandmother had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital.

It's easy to get cynical about business articles and anything with "secret" in the title. I get that way myself. But since the demise of Bell Labs, it feels like there's a big void to be filled. It probably never will be filled in the same

I'm glad you brought that up. Sweetened yogurt is one of the worst pseudo health foods on the market. Chobani's strawberry has 20 gm of sugar (4.76 tsp), and Yoplait is worse at 33 gm (7.86 tsp). That's a butt-load of sugar for such a small

Why would Tumblr be singled out when Bing gets away with it? Bing goes so unnoticed that their image search is practically a porn engine (if you turn off safe search), and I've never heard an outcry about that. Every female celebrity or pol

The IRS has a sordid history of doing this for political purposes. The IRS targeted anti-war groups during the Johnson and Nixon administrations [1]. Was that justifiable by your reasoning, or does it only apply to groups that you put in sc

Ha ha, I get your point. There are SEO tea leaf readers who think Google+ plays an increasing role in search rankings. It's probably just speculation coupled with coincidence, but as I was reading some articles on this last week, I was remi

There's a difference between an observation and an experiment. Lab experiments should be reproducible. The fact that astronomical events are not reproducible does not make the study of them unscientific, but it also doesn't imply that lab e

I run noscript in Firefox for casual browsing and reading. I don't do it out of paranoia. I do it because most sites load much faster. The number of external scripts loaded on media sites is usually the bottleneck, with 20+ not uncommon.
