a quick google on 'peace pot microdot' turns up this from the urban dictionary:
Peace. Pot. Micro-Dot.
A time-honored farewell, wishing other stoners and hippies a happy and high goodbye.
Didn't know he was a stoner. Maybe the LA thing was a drug deal gone bad.

Doesn't Takeshi have two very different persona? When he is hitting people over the head with a giant plastic hammer he is "Beat". When he is directing or acting he is Kitano, Takeshi. His filmography is quite extensive and includes several international award winners. The headline for the article should probably reflect that difference.

might have something to do with the fact that they raised prices and a 24 case is close to 5000 yen. Just got back from the states where you can get a case of unbelievable craft brewed ale for less than have that.

took the words right outta my mouth. Maybe I'll try to win something so I can put it up on yahoo auctions so I can afford a couple beers on my next flight.

It's 6.00 bucks or 600 yen for a beer on their international flights starting August first. Guess I'll be looking more and more at flying JAL or ANA from now on.

" enable users to transmit up to 80,000 packets of data per month"
I guess I need someone to explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old. Actually the average 5 year old probably has a better grasp of what this means. What does this mean? Is there a kilobyte or megabyte conversion or comparison? For example how many packets is a 70k email. If I check out one youtube vid is that gonna blow my whole 'packet' allowance for the month? Softbank will offer unlimited data on the iphone for around 7000yen. 1680 sounds a lot better as long as I'm not exceeding my limit everytime I check out a google map.

Seems odd to me that Softbank is not pushing this more. There have been no TV ads. Where are Cameron and Brad with their iphones. Not even any posters or print advertisements aththe stores. Are they counting on word of mouth or are they purposely consigning it to failure. Then we will hear nothing but 'yapari' We only like our domestic models.

"corporate social responsibility" They could start by returning the 72,000 yen 'deposit' I had to pay to get a phone line.

I first clicked on the article mildly curious to find out what CSR was. After reading the article I still don't know and couldn't care less. Great article.

I wonder why apple didn't release a press release about this as well?
Probably because Apple hasn't even announced that they have a phone that will work in Japan yet. Also wouldn't be surprised if Docomo also jumps in as well. Which would be good cause than I wouldn't have to change to Softbank. BTW how does the softbank coverage compare to Docomo in the city and the boonies? I've been pretty satisfied with Docomo coverage and customer service and don't really want to change but will have to in order to get an iPhone in a New York minute.

To sushi, or not to sushi
I always thought the debate over whether to eat sushi or not had to do with the high levels of mercury and other heavy metal toxins found in certain species of fish ESPECIALLY maguro and other tuna
