where-da-vid? Did they really have an interview? Are they making things up to get hits from search engines? Does "SAP" know about this?

For people who cannot manage their psychie on their own, it gives them hope and stability. They can be concerned about evil but yet not be so bothered by evil. Psychologically, he really does feel a presents of a loving one. Furthermore he needs to feel that presents or a part of his life is empty. To try and say that Prozac is a cure is a myth. As soon as you go off from it, the buggie-man reappears. People retain a portion of child throughout life. That euphoric feeling that comes over them when they are saved is like a child being at home all alone in his big scary house and mom and dad coming home. It works very well as a replacement for anything that you need it for, even reason.

Having gone to school recently for web design, I can't find a good reason to remove functions that are working well. But I do not know what keeps Victoria up at night. If a designer thinks that they can put better use to that real-estate, then they are obligated to do so. If a designer cannot turn enough volume to satisfy their client (in this case (SAP), then they end up staying up all night managing a monster for pennies. Either you have to build something more manageable or something that creates more volume. It looks like BT's intention is to attract only professionals and by introducing Ideafeed, it gives them a place to read alt. news and avoid the usual propaganda news sites such as Google and Yahoo. If you live in New York and have developed this great tool (BT) that allows you to hobnob with big names, wouldn't that be your main priority? Once you lose a portion of your original audience, they usually keep going. It is like stopping by a pub that has good people and good beer. If the folks you know leave or the atmosphere changes, you find new interest to do with that time. If they keep attracting big names for a little interview or get them to post a little blurb, they will continue to get hits from research sites. I hope I am sooo wrong.

It would be a more substantial belief than false religious doctrines. Psychologically, you could feel a presents of a god or some unknown entity watching over you. You would be considered less mislead than someone believing in a human talking to a burning bush. The mind is a playground, you can psych. yourself into believing anything you choose.
