Is this some kind of paid advertisement?

There are many, many netbooks on the market now.

This one from 'Mouse' is simply overpriced.

"I have to pursue this alone until the end" ... this is exactly the attitude of a certain U.S. president, one whose fate is sealed as the worst American leader of the last century, if not the last two centuries.

Suffice to say, Mr. Aso's end is also very near.…

DogDog, you took the thoughts right outta my head. Banks, city hall, 'fast' food joints, et al are not efficient in the slightest often times - and offices ... forget about it. American institutions follow any 'Japanese way' at their peril.

And in many, many instances in Japan the customer…

They've got such a cute name - and lovely hair ... sure to be a rocking success. And a contract with House Foods - wow!

How much more banal can music get in Japan?

The reason Japan's whalers make so many around the world so angry is precisely because they make such a point of going out of their world (Japanese territorial waters) and ... into other oceans of the world.

New flash, Nipponese whalers : most of the rest of the world doesn't…

Yeah, this just sounds too weirdly retro and faintly communist. The revival of the countryside will never happen ... Japan is overwhelmingly urban AND capitalist - cold hard cash rules here, my cement city brothers and sisters.

This country is, in many ways, a bunch of kids - dirty, bullying kids at that.

And the hits just keep on comin'.

I may have given Miss Ono a few extra billion $ above - forgive, she's only got ONE.

Get real, people. This 'peace getter-outter' is worth upwards of one billion U.S. $ ... that's $1,000,000,000,000. Disgusting that one person thinks their entitled to such an embarrassment of lucre.

Ono - and equally rich McCartney - should feed the mouths of hungry children with half of their wealth ...…

This woman is not news. Extremely rich, uncommonly money-grubbing ... and decidedly without any talent of her own. Please refrain from any further 'reportage' where the Ono san is concerned. Thank you.
