Bet it won't last one trans-pacific flight without some idiotic baggage carrier using it as a football.

First it was Pat Roberts, then it was Rush Limbaugh, now its today's clown Alain Joyandet. Can't we just send these people to Saipan or some place like that so that'll be that last we hear of them?

This is turning into another Hurricane Katrina type of situation. Lots of poor people who are hungry, hurt, tired, and worst of all - angry at the whole world.

Till then, I guess they'll have to take a lesson from Norway to get some practical advice.

I see JAL sharing a page in history with (oddly) United Airlines. Pretty much anticipate the JAL bankruptcy going down as planned. I'm guess the following will happen: Exclusive routes to which JAL has rights to will be auctioned off to competing airlines to pay its creditors.
Retirees and current employees will see either pensions get tanked (by at least 40 - 50%).
The bankruptcy court may order JAL to form a merger with either Delta or American (most likely Delta since they've willing for fork up more cash than American) to satisfy creditors - even though JAL opposes this idea. Guess its pretty much a given employee moral is going to go to the dirt, so it may show in customer service.

A little pricey for a GPS device. Most of the ones I've seen have been nearly six times less expensive.

AT&T's exclusivity contract clause with Apple doesn't expire till some time in the fourth quarter of this year - provided AT&T doesn't sweeten the pot with Apple to extend it an additional year (which they did back in '08). I don't think Apple really cares if it maintains its contract or not with AT&T, because smart touch phones are so obsequious these days that every carrier has their own version of an iPhone. The only thing I see that the iPhone has over the other clones, is it's app store.

I was proven wrong. I didn't think it was even possible to have the words "quality" and "Japanese TV programs" in the same sentence.

Translation: The cost for using spark plugs on steroids hardly justifies the minuscule fuel savings you might get.

'Cause it's easier for some of them to spend time with inanimate objects than living people. Might also explain the population decline too.

I won't be impressed until someone commits suicide in such an unusual manner as described by George Carlin, by using dental floss and a Stinger missile.
