It's not just in Japan, but everywhere. Whenever I go home to the US I'm always shocked that the culture of mindless cellphone usage is thriving there as well. You can't go 2 minutes on a bus, waiting for a plane, or anywhere without some loser picking up their cell…

Thanks for pointing that out Noliving. The point of the "buy American" campaign has always been to support American workers, not even American companies or products. The idea is that by spending a bit more on a product that was assembled in the US you help keep manufacturing jobs at…

That walkmen are selling well recently doesn't surprise me. The X-Series ones are very cool - good sound, excellent youtube playback, great screen - but a bit overpriced. The other cheaper models are all pretty good, especially the ones that don't require Sonic Stage.

All I know is we're going down a dangerous road. Yes, I think a dude taking pics of a naked kid is bad, and he deserved being questioned maybe, arrested... I don't know. He wasn't assaulting anyone and wasn't distributing his pics online, but I can't defend him either. On…

Wow, I can't believe they're serious about this deer mascot. Makes me want to reach for my hunting rifle.

I've heard her talk on TV enough. She's not as vapid as a lot of women you see on TV here, but she's about as bitchy as it gets. I'd rather have Noriko any day of the week.
