I've sent my E-mail protesting the removal of the column. Please send in yours. They've been doing the column for YEARS. Shouldn't the people in charge of the paper be suspended for not being aware of the column to begin with???

Sagecat... I sent them an angry (but professional) e-mail too. Don't think it will do anything, but if enough people send them one maybe another site (wink, wink) will pick it up... C'mon JT... Pick up Waiwai (change the name for copyright issues) and translate it here.

I hadn't heard about this... But does that mean that they will still have a Japanese version of WaiWai on the Japanese language site???

The logic that we shouldn't publish negative information about a country because people will see the country in a negative light is strange to me. If…

I'm thinking the Touch is based more on the gigabytes because it doesn't even have a camera like the iPhone does. But I could be wrong. They both seem to have a lot to offer, but when I get the iPhone I'll wait a year before getting the iTouch…

And I'll be the second in line...

Actually I think it's going to sell huge in Japan and the way they stock things like this they won't have enough so that will create "THE IMAGE" of more demand.

I remember being 12 shortly after my parents' divorce was final and as my dad was driving over a bridge over the Mississippi River he took out his wedding band and threw it in the river. Seems like a good way to deal the rings instead of putting the bad…

Our school doesn't allow students to have cell phones and they always give reasons like this as to why they should be allowed to have them. I always tell them that a cell phone will never help them in these violent situations. Trapped somewhere, yes, but never a sudden attack...

Where do you get that information?!?! A crowded Tokyo street with just a six shooter is going to get you six deaths easily. Point and shoot. With the sad deaths and injuries today we haven't been told yet if they were because of smashing the truck into the people…

rjd_jr, How in h _ _ _ could it have been prevented??? Are you saying guns give us the ability to predict the future???

If guns were legal here that only would have meant far more deaths today. You can easily double that number and even if someone had a…
