I don't see any problem with this; the link posted provides more insight and commentary than the official post.
Re:How the sugar industry shaped key government research about your teeth on Saturday March 14, 2015 @04:33AM (#9201946)
My dentist has advised me not to brush after a sugary meal or drink for at least an hour, otherwise you are effectively brushing the sugar into your teeth. Perhaps this also applies (but with a lesser timeframe) for meals that aren't so sugary.

Do you know if any of these are likely to reach the heights of BitCoin anytime soon, or are we a while off that?

Re:Tizen - new Android competitor on Friday January 18, 2013 @04:14AM (#5077827)
I'm not so sure. Google is stronger for software, whereas companies like Samsung, Sony, HTC etc. are better at hardware, which is my their marriage with Android has worked so well. The likes of Sense and Touchwiz do add some nice features, but they also add a lot of rubbish. It will take ages for hardware-focused companies like Samsung to catch up with Google's software experience.
