  • You literally misused literally.

    It's awfully pedantic of me, I know, but the application of nanomedicine to breast cancer is not actually "literally, just the tip of the iceberg," because it is not actually a jutting projection of a floating mass of ice.

    Otherwise, an article which is of great interest to me, since I'm studying to become an R.N. and will probably encounter the (figurative) fallout from some of these issues in the foreseeable future.

  • Incorrect URL?

    I'd like to listen, but the link is bad.

  • Rebuying

    Another caveat regarding numbers: I've seen several people comment in blog threads about the album sales that they initially "bought" the album at 0 pounds, with the intention of "rebuying" the files at a price based on how much they liked the album. I've no idea how common that tactic has been, but it does mean that the number of buyers is probably somewhat inflated.
