Touchwiz is still a memory hog, regardless of which launcher you use.

I agree though, rooting does fix most of the issues.

TouchWiz doesn't show up in my running processes. Maybe that's because it's a mere launcher, and I am already using another launcher instead of it.

I'm pretty sure, by now, I could delete the APK for TouchWiz and this phone would still work the same.

TouchWiz is not a launcher. It is a complete reskin of Android, and that is why it dosen't show up in your processes. It dosen't run off an apk either, so no, that wouldn't work. TouchWiz IS Android, just Samsung's version of it.

I know it's illegal to have a monopoly, that's why I said companies can't just buy up their competition.

AMD wouldn't sell out to Samsung simply because they are doing great all on their own. It really isn't hard to outsource the manufacturing process. 

And AMD would not come cheap, and the government will almost certainly step in to break such a deal up.

For the last time, AMD ISN'T competing with samsung ... 

I highly doubt that AMD is doing anything but good. They just posted a loss for their recent fiscal results ... It would be beneficial for AMD to be backed by samsung as the latter isn't interested in being a foundry customer for them. 

AMD is cheap. Their only worth 3 billion dollars for christs sake ... 

I know they aren't competing, but you still mention that Samsung should buy them, which would mean that Samsung wants to enter the graphics field. And if Samsung ever decided to enter the graphics field (as in your scenario), they would either compete with AMD or buy them out.

AMD's net worth is 4 billion dollars, not three. If someone wanted to buy AMD, they wouldn't get it for 4 billion dollars. They would have to pay a lot more. AMD could easily sell for as high as 10 billion dollars. The reason is that AMD is in a very strategic position right now. The consoles are all dependent on AMD for their hardware, and AMD has a duopoly on the graphics market with Nvidea. Remember how Facebook bought WhatsApp for 19 billion dollars, and Oculus Rift for 6 billion? AMD is much more essential and in a better position than either of those.
