SONY Products...no quality just plain branded goods. Support is worst. You can't even download your own device driver in their web even you own one because simply misplacing the original installers will mean buying the original disk again for a hefty price. Where on earth can you see such GREED. Shame on you SONY, hope you learn to cater to your consumers before focusing on ripping us up or better yet just go under.

for Americans, maybe the term Twins make sense but in Asian culture, the term elder or yuonger does matter even in twins. Hierachy is quite important in Japanese culture and maybe the younger sibling got fed up because she thinks she is being disadvantage just because of few minutes difference.

its so funny that people keep on saying save the environment, decrease carbon dioxide emmissions, its global warming and all that stuffs but when measures hits home, people starts to ridicue these policies. Its like Al gore going around the world pleading people to save the earth but he is not willing to decrease his electric consumption and other measures to save the earth. Yeah, easy talk. Airplanes are major carbon dioxide emitters. Yup, almost 20% of emitted CO2 are coming from planes yet Earth lovers go around by planes and say save the earth. Makes my day.
Anyway, only works if you think global warming is caused by CO2.

Been using windows 7 for the last 4 months and I say I will not be going back to XP...well not even when I migrated to Vista. For all the nerds who wants to talk about computers and for all the people who wants to look cool, I don't care. I want to use my PC to be productive, be able to edit some files, record, watch and that without too much learning curve. I don't speak the language of geeks nor follow the cult of the "cools". I use my PC and I am glad there is windows.

the proper way to handle it? first ask the name of the one asking, his contact details and then ask the patient by calling her number or via correspondence then let the patient contact the person. Its a normal protocol

college degree means full time employment? Derangement! I know a lot of people who even have PhD in Japan who are simply working as contract workers. Its a choice between surviving and dying, you want to live? go find a work. What is the available job? Contract good for a year

windows 7 beta is better than its counterpart. Windows trying to wean the general public from windows xp is the main problem of windows. Try installing windows 7 on a mere 512MB laptop and see what I mean. Its fast and stable.

no mercy for the obachans for me. As stated above, they are just busybodies, elbowing everyone out of their way and rush into the seats like madman and then begin talking boisterously. The trains are not crowded all day long. After the initial rush hour of 7-9 and 5-7 in the evening, most of the trains are not crowded. If they want to sit, they better avoid rush hours.

interface is like vista but its a mixture of XP and vista with lesser requirements, and no more annoying UAC. Its quite faster than Vista and I like the interface. Been using it for 2 mos and all drivers running in vista can be run by this Windows. System is quite stable and can be run even by Pentium 3 and 1Gb memory.

And will somebody tell me how to prevent the sun from burning hotter and the stars exploding in the universe giving off enormous energy towards earth. Man playing gods thinking that they can control temperature. Go live in a vacuum. The best computer in the world can not even predict the weather accurately in a day and here we have apocalypse in the next 1000 years based on the predictions built upon "parameterization" or in lay term guessing...

global warming? man-made? duh! Have anybody studied the effect of sunburst and exploding nova on the effect on tiny planets like the earth? As usual, man playing gods. These naysayers can't even accurately predict the weather in one day and then claim they can predict the values in 1000 years...get a l ife
