  Microsoft attacks Google over security

  Didn't Micro$oft just release their biggest patch to Windows ever? Fixing around 46 known security flaws that affect ALL versions of their operating systems.. Kinda hypocritical to complain about security when they have none!

  Experts say animals very near the plant may face problems like higher rates of genetic mutations, but that this would probably happen within only maybe a half a mile or so.

  Life imitates art! Blinky the 3-eyed fish from the Simpsons comes true! Except the name will probably be more like Pacchiri-pacchiri-pacchiriko.

  Agree with ebisen. How long will it take before Sony tries to begin another standards war over 3D video? Maybe this time it'll finally bankrupt those clowns.

  Teenagers are always depressed. They blamed it on music. They blamed it on personal diaries. And now they blame it on Facebook.

  Knowing the media here, microphones and cameras would be shoved in the faces of mourners and they would be asked "How do you feel RIGHT NOW??". I really really hope no jackass news cameramen were here to record this sad event.

  “Before its Kobe headquarters was built, it had arranged for boring to be undertaken, which succeeded in tapping an underground water source,” says the aforementioned gang watcher. “They took the initiative in making this water available to people in the neighborhood, along with food supplies.”

  Everything comes with a price, whether the Yakuza collect on it or not. If the person taking much needed water was recognized as a business owner, I'm sure it would be carefully recorded for possible future exploitation. They're only doing their jobs diligently.

  “If I can’t go over in Japan, then it’s not a problem! I’m not AKB after all.”

  That statement won me over. Whether she has the talent and luck to succeed, time will tell. But her attitude is awesome!

  Here's a story of shame: a teacher at my school tried to scuttle my announcement that I was collecting supplies for a relief effort put on by ALTs because he thought that Japanese should take care of their own people and didn't need any help from foreigners.. WHAT?

  If an earthquake strikes, get ready for a possible tsunami. Hopefully we will all remember this lesson if we were caught in a situation like that.

  New York Times has some good in-depth coverage and interesting articles by guest writers, but I could easily replace them with free online articles from the traditional magazines (like TIME) or with new media websites (like HuffPo). Is this an attempt at emulating the Apple business model? Unfortunately, they are a content producer and that category plays by very different rules. Nevertheless, I will miss their America-centric, liberal view on things.
