in The Omnivore’s Dilemma, by Michael Pollan on John's Blog
From a health standpoint, I generally feel better about eat corn products (like corn tortillas) rather than white flour products (flour tortillas), because the corn stuff is often a whole food, whereas white flour is essentially sugar, having been stripped of the bran.

Obv corn syrup is a separate nightmare.

in Sentiment Analysis for Internet Explorer; Comparing to Firefox on Marketing Pilgrim
"Searching Google’s main index, we discover almost twice as many pages claiming “Internet Explorer sucks” (43,400), versus those thinking the same of Firefox (22,100)."

This is actually a *huge underestimation* of anti-Internet Explorer sentiment because most people refer to it as 'IE'.

Google gives 117,000 results for "IE sucks" and only 557 for "FF sucks". Adding those to the searches you did, gives you these totals:

IE / Internet Explorer Sucks: 170,000

FF / Firefox sucks: 22,700
