well duh, any connection outside Japan is bound to be slower especially when using only dedicated underwater trucks. The best time to surf the US is when they are asleep.

it's not that hard to imagine, helmet was slightly bigger than the gap and she was left dangling. Hardly something to blame people about, just a typical accident like slamming the door on your hand.

Maglev is a waste of money, the Shinkansen is proven technology which exceeds speeds of 400km/h. For most Asian countries one would have to brake and slow down before hitting the max speed i.e Shanghai Maglev Train.

I'm sure she has plenty of health problem. Probably faints every morning, has cold feet ,headaches, and lacks stamina.

I have a bigger problem with all the surveillance out there. Anyone wonder who checks the re-runs. Most if not all feel a kind of power when monitoring the world and zooming in on people.

Japan Auction's new look sucks big time. Why do these companies feels there is just need to mess with the webpages when no one is complaining. Especially JT, I still hate the layout and still cannot get used to it. Pity they got rid of the new comment updates and options to send articles to other people. Spell check would be nice, but I would rather go back to the old design.

Not sure if you can call this a crime. Maybe if it was a photo stuck on a voodoo doll you could claim black magic, but I can't see how this would be an actual crime. Had he been hiding the fact that he was taking photos or discreetly filming then maybe that would call for something, but even then the media do that all day and every day all over the world for whatever reason and get paid for it.
While I distaste people like him I don't mind the ones who just enjoy photography. I for one love taking photos of nature, buildings, animals and children simply because whatever they are doing is so natural.
In the same situation I would probably snap a few photos of the guy, confront him and ask him about his actions, have him wipe the memory card or have him give it up, make it known that his face will be plastered across multiple internet boards and notify security of his presence. I can see no point in destroying something of his, punching him in the face or screaming at him.
It might be seen unhealthy for these wierdos labeled as paedophiles, but the majority in Japan are harmless, buy the U15 magazines, don't know how to engage with talk to any women their own age and are generally very timid, shy and plain geeks. Basically they are the outcasts like many other eccentric groups who go about doing their own thing. I do believe the culture for Japan vs other countries make for different statistics and child kidnappings and abuse are substantially lower. Mind you a parent must protect their young so watch out wierdos!!

how about a kick back for those who weight less than lets say 80kg. It's crazy to start paying for luggage when the guy next to you weighs 150kg.

ummmm 32GB Micro SDCard anyone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroSD
a small SD socket would allow the iPhone to upgrade the memory capacity allowing SunDisk to make money while they effectively strangle themselves. But, the consumer would be happy and that should give Apple a nice warm fuzzy feeling all over...

it would be nice if they could design the seat-belt to something a bit more humanly ergonomic rather than a synthetic strip of material that cuts into you especially depending on your chest height.

at least not as we know it today. Those who want a printed copy will hit a button on the vending machine which will spit out the latest edition of the news. For the most part technology will catch up and ultra thin and practically use once and throw away type bio-OLED screens will provide the daily news. It will be cheaper to print a single OLED film paper that incorporates enough memory to store a few hundred pages of news. Maybe like 2week contact lens it will be something you update and use until it gets battered.

how can a room cleaner not notice a large foul smelling suitcase. I wonder if the plastic bag was sealed? I guess not if the smell got out... It must have been pretty bad if the smell seeped down a floor.
