wrong. Apple designs the processors based upon ARM architecture, and Samsung manufactures them.

@dutchduck, yup that's the intention of Softbank. They don't want the current customers to move to au, which has better signal coverage.

wrong. I haven't paid off my 3GS yet but I can get a 4S with no extra charge if you stay with Softbank.

It's a good move. Washing machines and fridges are not such a good business any more for them. Sanyo's strength is in battery and energy sectors.

This was predictable. Poor passengers, victims of Chinese bureaucracy that does not understand management, maintenance, and operation know-hows are very much part of technology.

This article lacks an important background info. This couple had a 40 year old son who was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease and was on life support. The wife let him die by cutting him off the life support, after being repeated begged by the son. She was then charged for murder. That's what happened 5 years ago.

The driver was a California Highway Patrol officer. As he (or the other male passenger) called 911, he said he had lost the brake. Why he didn't think of throwing it into neutral, I don't know. The car was a loaner car from a Lexus dealer, and the floor mat was an aftermarket product.

Well, good for you. But I don't want Japan to become like some EU states. I live in an apartment which is now mostly occupied by assylum seekers, some granted, some waiting for their verdict, and I have to say most of them don't deserve the state aid they amply receive, somehow they managed to convince the authority. But I don't see any of them actively seeking employment, nor following the language/professional courses which are offered to them for free of charge.

Fujitsu and Cray are not quite in the same market. Fujitsu is no longer in the vector machine business, while Cray still is. That's why this project was intially supposed to be Fujitsu/NEC hybrid, NEC being the supplier of vector processors, Fujitsu responsible for the scalar processors. Besides, Cray is no longer what it used to be. They got owned massively by NEC in their vector machine niche.

Hiroshi Tachi, not Hiroshi Kan. Yes the kanji for Tachi looks almost like "Kan" as in "Hall", but it's a different character. P.S. Yujiro is the younger brother of Shintaro.
Moderator: Thank you. It has been corrected.

This JT article is too brief. Look at the relevant articles from Reuters or AP.
The couple did report it to the police.

Comparing A380 and 787 is pointless. 787 should be compared against A350XWB. A380 had its own share of issues but 787 has a rocky road ahead as well. It will finally undergo test flight in a few weeks, but a big problem persists; the 787 does not achieve its advertised performance due to the serious overweight issue, thus the airliners will not be able to benefit from the reduction in the operating cost initially proposed. ANA is said to have been given a huge discount because of this.
