iPad? iShit!
Posted in: I have already seen Japanese guys showing off iPads they had bought in the U.S. at parties to impress girls. That's kind of the ultimate test in some ways, although I don't know whether an iPad is enough to attract a charming lady to a boring guy.

Absolutely. You are not belonging to the group of people who must have the symbols of being cool! But then again, symbols are for the simple minded.

This is the same window-dressing like the new encrypted Google Search. The data is still with the vendor and not owned by the user. Hence they can do what they want under the lax US privacy laws.

Get a (cheap) color printer and print your own messages on a sheets of "sticky notes", then you can plaster the windscreen of the offender.
Get the ones that are hard to peel off and print the message BIG. I do that for people blocking my driveway and it gives the added joy to see people desperately trying to peel off the damn thing ...

This study is years old and outdated (in this study it was also said that the engines are "damaged if constantly switched on and off"). Modern engines with automatic start-stop prove that switching off the engine --even short time-- result in measurable improvement of the mileage.

Its not, as it contributes to a larger shift in peoples mindset.
PS: I want to quote Apple's CEO Steve Jobs with a little twist: "Are you doing something --like the author of this report-- to improve your environment, or is all you can do the belittling of efforts of others? "

Comfort always beat environmental thoughts.
PS: Lovely notion that Japan needs more car thief's. I fully agree. Japanese need a traumatic experience to change their behavior.

I don't fully understand the issue with the foreign nurses. 5 % of the Japanese population --able to work-- is unemployed; a number of women employed as housewives would love to work.
In both groups must be sufficient men and women suited to close the gap, if there is really a will to do so. The problem is that nursing is not a fashionable, rewarding and well payed job. Hence the shortage and need for third world people desperate enough to go through the drag.

Two "losers" are teaming up. Both had great products, both missed the changing needs of the market ... not too different to the Japanese economy.

Once a password is cracked or stolen, no one waits for 6 month to misuse it, it's used right away; hence changing passwords is useless bullcrap invented by some "security specialists"

Long in the past the European government had been warned of the Greek as money greedy lazy people. Sadly no one stopped them from entering the European Union. Now everyone is paying a high price for this ignorance.
