At this time the official news there are only 24 confirmed deaths, much fewer than was feared earier.
The figure of 91 was way way premature, and like the early news in the Boston bombing, the news media in this case can't be trusted.

If you've been using Adobe Photoshop for processing and editing photographs, I highly recommend DxO Optics. It's a European photo editing application that's excellent and not in the cloud. And you'll feel a great sense of relief at not using an Adobe product.

He makes $13 million a year? I didn't know China has an equivalent of the U.S. Hollywood overpaid film directors.

wtfjapan @timtak sorry mitsubishi or any other Jcompany will never manufacture large passenger jets like Boeing , Airbus mainly because it cost more than 20billion in R&D just to develop one model of aircraft, then you have the engines which are the most costly and intricate part of any aircraft.
And if I'm understanding the Mitsu Regional Jet correctly, it's using P&W engines.

malfupete @fadamor: I was thinking the exact same thing!
That was the first thing I thought of also - a typical Ponzi scheme.

cwhite: fortunately not very smart and was caught on video
Well he was smarter than the owner of the boat, who sees his boat cover smeared with blood and guess what he does first. Call the police? No, he looks under the cover to see if an armed, wounded bomber is there. Idiot.

The headline for this article is misleading. Admiral Locklear said he would recommend it, not that he would do it. (Presumably he does have authorization to do it but that's not what he said.)

BurakuminDes: Has to be the NSX. Better in many respects than the Ferraris of it's times. Honda will never make a better car.
Amen to that! I wanted one so bad I could taste it. The priceeventually came down on used ones but I still couldn't afford new tires every 10K miles, at least not those tires.

tkoind: This is a bad idea. I am dodging net zombies every day in Tokyo, near misses by bike riding net/phone zombies and then the far too frequent automobile residing net/phone zombies. Make the internet available on glasses and there will be even more web zombies crashing into people instead of paying attention to the here and now.
Yes, there is a lot of concern here in the US because we know there will be a bunch of fools wearing these while driving.

There are a lot of really good people working in Olympus. I fail to see the point of fining the company. Fine the jerks at the top who did this! (And also throw them in jail, of course.)

FWIW, according to Wikipedia:
According to Thomas Tull, chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures, (sic) "Our plans are to produce the Godzilla that we, as fans, would want to see. We intend to do justice to those essential elements that have allowed this character to remain as pop culturally relevant for as long as it has."

smithinjapan issa1: Samsung clearly makes the better product, and consumers agree. Hence, the company is outselling all Japanese electronics companies (much as some posters will deny it)
No. Panasonic plasma TVs, particularly the VTs, are regarded as the best by true video afficionados and by the most respected home theater equipment reviewers. But they are more expensive than Samy's.

TheDevilsAssistant: Just wondering if a bus driver/captain would need a bus license AND a boat license to operate this thing.
I can't imagine why not - the driver would certainly need to know the nautical rules of the road.

JoiceRojo: turns out that zen student was right... 71 years and from South America.... (which is the same as to say Latin American)
Zen Student wanted someone both not so conservative and from Latin or South America. Unfortunately that didn't happen - as I predicted he's very conservative (and he's 76 not 71). He's conservative enough to have been the runner-up in the previous papal election.
That is not to say he doesn't have good qualities. His humility is a very welcome attribute, and the Jesuits seek to accomplish something Buddhists strive for - renouncing attachments to material things.
