Not sure, but a lot of people I know eat substantially *less* beef now than we did when we were younger, and that's including the rise in incomes. The only truly sustainable way forward is reduction, which is clearly what no one really wants to do.…

There is flagrant price fixing in the oil markets, the industrial metals markets, the precious metals markets, LIBOR interest rate fixing, fixing in the ISDAfix part of the world ... and yet the DoJ found the time to go after ... ebook pricing?! …

I guess Samsung it taking it upon itself to deal with Android fragmentation. By bleeding others of apps so all that remains is Samsung. There can be only one!

I was thinking the same, but that's not exactly a fatal flaw. It would be more severe if it wasn't price so low, either. Most people like to only do one thing at a time. How can you enjoy watching entertainment when you're hunched over a l…
