    what a stupid survey. My 4 year old son can come to the same conclusions as these "experts" - If only one company uses iOs and the other 95% use Android, which do you think will have a bigger number? No one cares about the OS market, people care about market share of the companies themselves and what it means to the bottom line and for shareholders.

    Android dominance is great for Google because they can use the platforms for ad revenue... but is Samsung happy sharing the Android space with HTC, Motorola, and the others? I think not..

    of the 156 million phones sold in the first 3 months, how does this break down? Because as an investor, this is key info!

    surely there was a more secure location to do this psychiatric assesment - prison hospital? so if the prosecutor's office cannot be held responsible, should it be the prefectural police taken to task for not taking precautions?

    Takuro Morinaga is same "tv personality and economic analyst" who proposed a tax on "handsome men"

    http://www.japancrush.com/2012/pictures/tax-handsome-men-increase-birthrate-says-economic-analyst.html

    and judging by the look of him, he won't be paying any tax any time soon...

    His comments about the 24hr tokyo are spurious at best.. please, tokyo being overrun by foreign nationals? If tokyo wants to truly be seen as an International City... get used to it

    The priests who run Yaskuni say that all the spirts there coalesce into one entity... which to me being the unreligious type sounds like a huge load of BS, but that's me being insensitive. On the other hand, it almost sounds too convenient that they can't seperate the criminals from the common soldiers..

    and even on the third other hand, its about time China and Korea stopped throwing their toys out of the pram every time a politician goes there. Germany doesn't make a stink to the US when an official visits Arlington or any of the war cemetaries around Europe and vice versa when a German official does the same. We're talking about events that happened almost 70 years ago!!

    my son learned english and japanese... he's 4.

    I'd reason wtfjapan is successful in Japan is that because of his ability (or in this case lack of ability) means he can't be hired by a japanese firm, therefore saving his work/life balance and not being ko'd by having to work until 11pm every night.

    I'd definitely call that a success

    for the neutral it was a great match.. highly entertaining. Surprised that City really only came close to scoring once and Wigan looked very dangerous on the counter attack. Suffice to say, half of those Wigan players probably won't be back on the team next year. I wonder where Martinez will end up

    they probably serve good food but then, I can probably eat some good italian food in new york city or toronto.. world class is a matter of opinion, made up by some magazine article. World class to one may not be the same to another

    Perhaps Mongolia should come out with a claim on China?... since they were a "vassal state" of the Mongolian Empire.

    This is petty sabre rattling by a bunch of academics.. nothing more.

    This is so stupid... the 13 colonies used to belong to England yet you never see them demanding back New York! Turkey (Ottoman Empire) controled most of the Balkans, north africa, syria, etc at one point yet we never see modern Turkey demanding back Greece or Croatia!!

    China can claim the islands belong to them, but it ain't gonna happen without military force.

    its no different from jury duty.. and I never hear cases of Jurists suing the system in the US for mental anguish. Most of them release books if the case has gathered national attention
