I think since March 11 earthquakes in japan are such big news now. They used to be something that you shrugged off as a regular thing.
Hold onto your computer monitor with one hand and try to type with the other till the shaking stops.

I am surprised that the Amoeba corporate blob Google hasn't slithered over Yahoo Japan and incorporated it or just digested it to it's demise by now.
I think this is like a cat with a stomach full playing with a mouse just for the fun of it

Call me sentimental but I miss the old school late 90's early 2000's clam shell flip phones by DoCoMo. The quality of the phone build was amazing. Using it, flipping it open etc. was like a well built watch. The new generic iphone clones are getting a little hopeless feeling. We already have a laptop and a tablet...

It sounds like someone who wants to get caught to me. Either that or this is a psychologically challenged person without a grip on reality..

come to think about it.... The only thing Okinawa was missing was a corrupt warmonger government, life-threatening smog, and a roller-coaster real estate bubble... it will go excellent with the scuba and seafood

It makes you imagine the scenario where the police will let this guy go just on the basis that he doesn't remember doing it.
As if recollection is more important than denial in this case. He doesn't remember doing it? I guess we'll have to let him go!

Then they need to study the eating behavior of the sorely hungover. There is no other reason for eating breakfast at a burger shop.

If she is an independent, exhibitionist, outgoing, comfortable with her body and doing it for fun then great!
If she is being coerced into this by a bully manager then lame.. There is enough porn in Japan to not have to sell out your career to a use and then dump industry. Oh well...

I remember when I was in japan 10 years ago, McD's was announcing that they would be doubling the locations in Japan.
It's good to hear that the Japanese people didn't want to go to eat there twice as much.
I have to say that it was way too easy for Japanese companies to copy the good parts of McDonalds and make an even better product. Good for them

To be in the military is like training thousands of men for the Olympics then never competing in sports.
If you are in the military, especially if you are a general or higher, your job is war.
To finish your career without war would be the most horrible sadness.
Military bosses must start and win wars to achieve immortality, a bronze statue etc...
This is antagonizing the enemy to make the first move to justify your aggressive desires. Period. China / USSR have nothing to lose.

I don't think it's necessarily this guy using google a few times and then he loses his ability / will to thrive. I am sure that this problem came up repeatedly, ruined his reputation, and might have cost him jobs, or promotions etc.
I am sure he contacted Google. Was promptly ignored or got an autoresponse. I am sure his lawyer wrote a letter to cease and desist, and that was ignored.
With a amoeba like corporation like Google there is no way an individual can give feedback that requires action without the courts being involved. I am sure the experience was stressful and humiliating.
Auto complete should be there to better our lives not ruin our lives.

I wonder if they will carefully attack everything except for Tokyo Disneyland. I think the Ill family was really fond of that place.
Japan is that place that NK and even China is obsessed with but doesn't get the same admiration in return so they threaten war.
Its like the bully pulling the ponytails of his secret crush because she doesn't pay attention to him

I wish that would happen when it's hot.
I hate it when people don't take off their backpacks on the train. It's a really selfish thing to do.

Kind of makes you wish they would give up the typical polite optimism; insisting on a positive spin on everything. It's polluting the truth in the end and it makes you want to even question the positive work they have completed.
Just tell the facts and leave it at that.
Of course they don't know everything. There are spots that are too radioactive for a robot to penetrate. How are they going to know that everything is contained for sure.

I don't think it's science or culture here. I think it's simply the pride of stubborn old men.
The whale scientists are happy to have a source of funding to do their work. The people who enjoy eating whale enjoy the source of whale meat.
But neither party would actively choose to stick their finger in the worlds eye this way unless they were stubborn old men who hated to be told what to do by outsiders.

I confess if I found ten million yen dropped from a botched robbery I would stuff it in my pants and run. It would smell like cigarette smoke from pachinko but I would be happy to have it.
Then I would get caught... heheh
