Well, he's at best a dangerous idiot and at worst a complete scumbag - no denying that. But what was his wife doing leaving her child when it was only 12 days old? Seems a sad mix of negligence, ignorance and ill temper, pretty much what you'd expect from the…

Is it a Japanese film, based on a Japanese comic? If so, why isn't that mentioned? If not, what's all the fuss about? Shoddy reporting here.

I doubt that it's for windows xp and vista only. That's a ridiculous claim. It's storage so there's no reason why it shouldn't work on any platform.

Why does Singapore have stealth vessels? Not that surprised that this is the first I've heard of it, but it can't be that stealthy to have travel plans published in the press.

I'd tell the boss that overtime on short notice is something to be offered, not demanded. Nobody in Japan seems to understand that 'overtime' is a term for extra work whereby you get paid at a higher hourly rate - usually time and a half. Otherwise, it's just working late.
