Right, they might as well simply discontinue their economy seats here and now. There's no point in asking the normal citizen for half of their annual salary just for a flight from Hong Kong to KL. I wonder if these oil prices are going to improve horse and canoe sales?

Does anyone know if it's 3G features will be crippled in order to lock it into Japan-only usage? Also, it doesn't have felica(or whatever other random brand) wireless money functions. That's not going to sit well with everyone in Japan land.

It's no doubt going to be far more expensive than it's US counterpart. Apple's Japan pricing has always been somewhere between 10-25% more expensive than US pricing. What does anyone care anyway though? It's Softbank so you'll be paying it off every month anyway. The end price will be almost…

Oh ya? I think it's a good taste of their own medicine if you ask me. Ever try American food in Japan? I wouldn't be caught dead eating a lump of ketchup flavored rice covered in half raw egg with curry slime on top. Japanese food in America is about…

This is a scary story. To think you can kill a man by simply hitting him on the head with a champagne bottle. This is very much a lesson in self control and the repercussions of what we consider harmless or unintentional actions that lead to death.

I'm still wondering what fool built that airport so far from Tokyo. Every other major city in the world is at the most 1 hour from a major airport. Not only do you have to dish out 3,000 yen regardless of mode of transportation to get there one way, you…
