If you filter out the pulp, pretty much. Filtered apple juice is pretty much flavored sugar water.

And Lustig says fructose is deadly, regardless of it's source. He doesn't differentiate between granulated sugar and high fructose corn syrup; he's saying you should eat as little fructose as possible, and when you do, make sure it's something with fiber.

If you'd believe the article: nothing - you should eat as little fructose (regardless of the source) as possible.
One of the reasons that stuff like Felica succeeded in Japan is that for the longest time it was a cash society (true actually for many Asian nations), and even today you'll find many establishments that are still cash-preferred/-only. The situation would be very different if credit cards had taken root earlier.
There are plenty of $30-50 PCIe graphics cards available. Mind you, they're not good for modern gaming... but then, neither is your PCI VGA card. And what motherboard do you have that has both PCI and PCIe slots but not onboard video?
Direct Messages are like email, not instant messages over AIM or MSN. Why would I want Twitter to delete them unless I deleted them from my account first?
So... you're not okay with DRM'd music because it's "bullshit", even if it did lead to DRM-free music offerings, but you're okay with DRM'd video, which somehow isn't "bullshit" because it doesn't affect you. All right then.
First, there IS NO monolithic RED CROSS. For Americans, there's the American Red Cross. For the Japanese, there's the Japanese Red Cross Society. Each country has their own independent organization. Then there's an international agency that coordinates between various national groups. So "the fact that they are already in Japan" means nothing.
Second, the issue here is that the American Red Cross has a history of malfeasance. They diverted half of the $500 million donated for 9/11 victims and families to internal issues and other projects; they charge a minimum of $150 per pint of blood that everybody donates for free (which costs them about $60/pint on average to collect); millions of dollars of donated equipment and supplies were misappropriated, diverted, or "lost" during Katrina relief efforts; the ARC CEO is one of the best paid executives for a non-profit at $500,000 plus expense accounts... The list of waste, abuse, and high overhead goes on and on. So go ahead and bite on the "troll".
Of course it matters. There's a lot fewer soft drink bottlers which means that a given bottle has to travel a farther distance on average before it reaches its destination shelf. Also consider that soft drinks are sold in more locations (unlike the Japanese, last time I checked, in the United States we don't have unattended beer vending machines), meaning that they have to be distributed to more locations.
...except for the part where changing air currents and densities (the same reason why starlight seems to twinkle at night) distorts lasers, so there are "tracer" low-powered lasers so that the system can properly shape, focus, and aim the main beam. You think that reflected laser is going to magically focus itself after bouncing off of some junk to blind someone? Come on folks, this is basic SDI/ABL stuff.
Of the top of my head, all Apple says is that it doesn't get PC viruses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdF5IsyOxU4. "There are a 114,000 known viruses for PCs." "PCs, not Macs." If a customer believes that means Macs don't get viruses or malware, it's their own fault. Right?' Though...
"A Mac isn’t susceptible to the thousands of viruses plaguing Windows-based computers.

Interesting. I wonder why they started to qualify their statements by inserting 'PC'.
Verizon and T-Mobile allow you to have a data-only plan on your smartphone, something like $50/mo. Not dirt cheap, mind you, but no sense in paying an extra $20 for voice that you're never going to use, right? Dunno about Sprint, though, and it's not an option o AT&T.
WebM did not replace h.264. VP8 replaced h.264. WebM replaced.mp4. WebM is based on Matroska, the superset of.mkv,.mka, and.mks. Turn in your geek card.

Sigh, lack of edit. Anyway, as I was about to say, the better question is, how much energy did it cost to make those parts in the first place?
Because the parts for your gas/diesel car teleported itself to the final assembly point once it was manufactured.
They do, but they'll never reveal it, and hope that we forget about it two or three years down the road.

User data... like direct messages? I guess only crazy user-unfriendly companies would want to store private correspondence on its servers.

Whoops, wrong moderation. Cancelling.

While you have a good point about the beer, I'm pretty sure Pepsico doesn't produce and/or distribute any beer.
Glass = more weight = more diesel burned to transport
