I hate to break it to you, but you work with a number of morons. You can't blame Apple for their behavior. Well, they DO get a little of the blame, since they have a marketing department. Precisely, Charles. We are all influenced by our environment. Companies and their marketing have a huge impact on our decisions; particularly within our subconscious mind. You can thank Edward Bernays for this. Considered the father of 20th century propaganda, he took Freud's (his uncle's) ideas about human beings, and used them to manipulate the masses. Most notably, he showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn't need by linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires.

I suppose you'd also blame McDonald's for making people fat?

Fat, salt and sugar are synergistic, and as as a result it causes the release of dopamine. With these three foods being synergistic, we also build a neural net (or neuro net?). McDonald's also uses umami, which is very likely addictive. So yes, I think McDonald's does have some culpability.

I thought umani was a concept. It is a description of a particular flavour sensation, if you will. I did not think it was a particular ingredient. Therefore, isn't that kind of like saying satisfying taste may be addictive?
Not razzing you, just trying to understand where you are coming from. Plus, now I'm hungry, damn it!

Synergistic Umamis is the name of my next band. I think mine will be Sneering Plutocrat! We just leaked our first video yesterday, and the response has been tremendous!

No, no, I've given up on that 47%. They'd never buy my CD no matter how much I promoted it.
Instead, I plan for all the job creators to by multiple copies of the CD and make their employees listen all day at work. Pipe it over all the intercoms and in the elevators. Any holiday bonuses will be paid out in CDs and memory sticks with my mp3 album on them.
I just have to incorporate in the Cayman Islands first.
