Stereo manufacturers and publishers have actually grumbled about this for years, with varying levels of credibility, If all the nuance is stripped from the music, there's little point in buying equipment capable of reproducing that nuance.
But unless Bing, Yahoo, or Google pay Murdoch money, his stories will never appear in the search engines. Don't believe me? Murdoch's British papers will no longer be indexed by Lexis/Nexis.
For example, the "Wall Street Journal" (WSJ) has excellent reporting and analysis. The WSJ is worth the price that its owners charge, so I willingly pay for a 1-year subscription to the WSJ.
I've heard that the Journal's analysis and business reporting has suffered since Murdoch bought it.
Hfcs is simply glucose and fructose, not fructose and sucrose.. The most commonly used preparations are hcfs-55, and hfcs-42. The number refers to the amount of fructose in the formula. So one tablespoon of hfcs-55 is 0.55 T fructose, not 0.775 T fructose.
Some "Whole Foods" groceries have a automatic wine bar (several "Enomatic "machines), where you can buy wine by the ounce. On the one hand, the markup is steep, if not insane. On the other hand, if you want a few sips of Mouton Rothschild or Yquem, it's a whole lot less expensive than a bottle.
What if you're not looking for decent but fantastic? One of my favorite wines is a white Burgundy-- it's a St Veran, though unfortunately I don't remember the exact details, and the AOC isn't stocked in many local stores It's so well balanced that it "sends me to the moon."
The average, everyday white burgundy is pleasant, quaffable, buttery, or perhaps less so with an unfortunate and unpalatable oaky overtone. Sometimes, the merely average isn't enough-- and people are willing to pay a lot of money for the promise of transcendence.
Even those food and wine critics who have come around to the idea of box wines are loath to recommend anything below $18 for a 3 Liter box. It's not that they're snobs-- it's just that there's a lot of bad wine out there.
We must hold firmly to the doctrine that in the courts of the United States it is the duty of juries in criminal cases to take the law from the court, and apply that law to the facts as they find them to be from the evidence. Upon the court rests the responsibility of declaring the law; upon the jury, the responsibility of applying the law so declared to the facts as they, upon their conscience, believe them to be.
Try to keep a low profile during voire dire-- if you are outspoken and forthright, you won't get in, and if you lie, a vengeful prosecutor or a jealous judge might just get you for perjury or contempt.
Juries are human computers. They aren't supposed to weigh the evidence in any larger context. Similarly, when Peter Watts was asked to comply, he thought instead of reacting.
If you stop to think about it, you'll be convicted of disobedience. When a thug with a badge asks you to something, avoid rational thought, and simply do, with no thought for your own safety.
Gass had given the same dog-and-pony show a dozen times, mostly for woodworkers, contractors, and a few industry executives. But this audience was different. It consisted of lawyers for the Defense Research Industry, a trade group for attorneys representing the power-tool industry. SawStop could help prevent thousands of serious injuries caused by power tools each year, Gass believed -- if the industry would license it. He returned to his seat thinking he had made his case.
Then Dan Lanier, national coordinating counsel for Black & Decker, stepped to the podium. His topic: "Evidentiary Issues Relating to SawStop Technology for Power Saws." Lanier spent the next 30 minutes discussing a hypothetical lawsuit -- in which a plaintiff suing a power-saw manufacturer contended the saw was defective because it did not incorporate SawStop's technology -- and suggesting ways defense counsel might respond. Lanier recalls it as a rather dry exploration of legal issues. Gass heard something different. To his ears, Lanier's message was this: If we all stick together and don't license this product, the industry can argue that everybody rejected it so it obviously wasn't viable, thereby limiting any legal liability the industry might face as a result of the new technology. (Lanier denies this was his point.)

Probably plummetted like a rock. Most of those executives are paid in stock options too, so their compensation imploded.

Uh, what? If you mean that having a rather militarist government is good if you're a corporation in the arms industry, then yes.
What's wrong with making both toy guns for boys, and real guns for men?
Put down that book and come to bed, darling.
Actually, Bose is awful.You're much better off spending the money on big, traditional boxes that make now allowance for "decor."
ah, perhaps I'm thinking of the loudness wars.

That sounds like an absolutely wonderful API. "Screw backwards compatibility-- rearchitectures are good for the soul."

If a site is distinctive enough, and if it offers stuff that can't be had anywhere else, it will attract a few subscribers.

This is why I'm a beer snob. You can get the best beer in the world for $12 or less for a 750 mL bottle.
Samuel Adams Utopias sells for $150. However, It may transcend the definition of beer.
The sort of detail that should have been in the article in the first place.
When I was in Chicago, in a pretty decent restaurant, we were served a 70-80usd wine.
Probably a 35 dollar bottle that was marked up.

Latour 1990 is supposed to be quite good. The 1990 vintage sells for more than twice as much as the more pedestrian 1989 vintage. There's profit in switching the labels.
Did you not detect my note of sarcasm? However, the controlling case seems to be SPARF v. U S, 156 U.S. 51 (1895), which notes
