    as if Apple could careless. Although it could be in their best interest to keep the phones locked so 2nd hand iPhones never get to be recycled.

    from Central Yokohama it would be much quicker to get to Haneda than Yokoto airbase.

    duh, of course it wouldn't work, who would get the money, how would you split it...

    Proxy, in that case it would be cheaper to download it, why then bother going Tsutaya.

    majority only get a fixed salary with the occasional bonus, others can demand or command percentages and commission depending on the project, deal, cm, movie, book, etc... Yes, it does suck, but not that many are complaining.

    Average or normal is what promoters want these days which is why girl mags have changed quite a bit over the years. Ueto Aya like Aibu Saki fits the profile for selling pretty much anything to any age group. She is one of the extremely few TV personalities that I actually believe to have any talent and she is no doubt multi-talented unlike some who don't even know how to read.

    ah yeah, 53 year old woman climbs over wire fence at 4:30am.... hmmm must of been sleep walking/climbing. Going via the DMZ into N.Korea is not the best route, going through China or sea is a much safer approach.

    they should have bumped up oil tax prices decades ago and used it to find, harness, utilise and mass build clean alternative means of energy. Hopefully the world will now be forced to find other means of clean and efficient energy.

    indeed it was illegal because she did have the necessary paperwork. All she had to do was go through any of the thousands of slightly more legit site that specialise in buying and selling photos.

    I guess those who criticize the police this time round just don't realize how easy it is to run people over and start stabbing insanely in a crowded area. In any case the police first have to come on site, access the situation instantly (dude isn't carrying a gun or spraying something) run after him (not shoot blindly into a crowd), corner him and take him down (preferably without killing him). If you can do all that in under 5 minutes then I would say he did a great job.

    What a waste of an article. Why oh why would anyone consider writing this. Just hand the keys in and forget about it, much like you pick up trash, put out cigarette butts, and give 1yen to a charity box. It should be a given and hopefully if you drop something one day you'll get it back too.

    talk about stereotyping, Linddell must hangout only in Shibuya, Shinjyuku and Roppongi. Even then you have to pick out the obvious few. If every worker took the last train home then JR really needs to rethink the 24 hour train system. Boys crave independence more than girls? they do? didn't know that... As for having every hour of the day accounted for, well we all know that is only for the few mothers who are just trying too hard. Most kids are playing video games, reading manga and running around in the school yard. Otherwise SegaSammy, TakaraTomy, BandaiNamco, Nintendo and all the other toy, anime and managa companies would have long gone out of business. He might as well have being talking about Italian men and their over protective mothers... or perhaps Koreans?? I for one would rather be a child of a Japanese mother than a mother busy juggling the various contradictory roles imposed on women by Western society.

    DoCoMo is a bit on the pricy side, but not by that much. You just need to apply for all the different price cut plans. Can't beat Softbank though...

    Matsushi-ta is the correct name. Same could be said for Sumitomo Mitsui, Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ (backwards) and so on. So how many people know that Technics is also Matsushi-ta? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technics_%28brand%29 Anyway, they are both product brand names and just to make things more confusing Matsushi-ta will change the name of the company on Oct1 to Panasonic (since the brand name is recognized worldwide more than the name of the corporate manufacturer name). So I guess goodbye to National as well...

    how much can you sell 10kg of dynamite these days? I like the way they hand them out to all the soldiers rather than a couple of pro's.
