If there's any one major flaw in this article's argument, it's in its attempt to establish an hierarchy of informational importance.

While it's pretty easy to say that the study of the functionings of neurological chemistry is by far more important than what body part Britney Spears has inadvertently shown off to the public, everything in between is a shifting gradient of gray and dark gray.

While arguments can be made that, on the grand scale of things, the intrigues of corporations and their stock prices are more important than whether or not that new DIY tabletop fabricator blueprint's worth the hype, I think quite a few of us here would immediately flock to the latter link FIRST... and would be quite interested to know what components it calls for, and where to get 'em.

The answer is in more efficiently targeting advertisements, not in dismissing its utilization altogether.
