    Protip: The companies telling you to buy their vitamin supplements, many of them also big pharma companies.

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/2009/06/10/many-vitamins-supplements-made-by-big-pharmaceutical-companies/

    There are hundreds of small firms, including niche players with only a few products. But they account for a slim slice of total sales, industry experts say.
    The Pharma giant Wyeth, for example, makes Centrum and other supplements, and Bayer HealthCare of aspirin fame makes the One A Day line. Unilever, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline and other big pharmaceutical firms also make or sell supplements.

    Big pharma companies loves vitamin supplements because it reaps billions from idiots.

  8. Re:Rich People's Fads on Tesla Motors May Be Having an iPhone Moment · · Score: 5, Informative

    You do know that a Model T cost $850 in 1909 which for an average worker was around 2 to 4 times their average income. Even at 60k the Model S is around 4x that of a non-tipped worker making no more than Federal minimum wage (and more than 86% of people are at or above this income level). So a Model S is really no more expensive for a minimum wage worker than a Model T was for the low-end average income of a 1909 worker.. Prices came down on the Model T with increased sales volume just as prices will go down on Tesla cars if growth continues and they sell more volume.

  9. Re:What person thinks this is OK? on Blackberry 10 Sends Full Email Account Credentials To RIM · · Score: 1

    The point is that RIM saving the email credentials is how they've always done it. Yes, BB10 does not have BIS but still does the email push the same way they did for BIS. The statement still stands that Heise is years behind the times if they only now just discovered this is how RIM does email push.

  13. Re:Reagan appointee ordered breakup, Clinton dismi on Patent Trolls Getting the Attention of the Feds · · Score: 1

    Reinventing history I see. The DC Circuit Court that ruled unanimously that the case be remanded was made up of 1 Carter appointee, 3 Reagan appointees, 1 Bush Sr. appointees and 2 Clinton. So blaming Clinton is quite disengenuous since the majority of the justices were Reagan and Bush appointees. Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, the district judge it was remanded to never heard the new case because the Bush DoJ dropped the breakup plans and chose to settle 2 months after the Circuit Court's ruling.

    Robert Byrd's KKK membership that he dropped 6 decades ago? Strom Thurmond's fibuster from 1957? What relevance do either of those have to do with anything the GP said? Also what do the CDA and COPA have to do with anything? Especially when both passed with huge Republican support and COPA was defended by John Ashcroft when the ACLU brought a lawsuit against it.
