Ogie wrote: "the grandchild who found his grandfather murdered and then finds out his father did it." This implies the grandchild who discovered the victim is the child of the murder suspect.
Article wrote: "The victim was found by one of his grandchildren, a child of the suspects sister..." This means the grandchild who discovered the victim is the child of the murder suspect's sister.
Unless you are implying the parents of the kid who discovered the victim are siblings.

OgieDoggie:
Read carefully. The kid who discovered the victim is the suspect's niece/newphew. None the less, I feel sorry for the kid too.
JT:
It should be "...a child of the suspect's sister.."

Seems like Toshiba hasn't learned to name its products with catchy names that regular consumers can remember easily. XDE technology? I think they need a new marketing department.

The writer of this article obviously did not see the movie because the good guys/gals in the movie did not battle the abominable snowmen.
Kelly Hsu was not in any of the Mummy movies.

After reading Cleo's last post: Could it be possible that she was having a heart attack and was trying get to the neighbour's house to get help and the dog freaked out when she collapsed and was trying to rouse her? Notice the bites are on her arms and not on her face or throat. She was on the ground so if the dog meant to attack her, it would most likely be biting her face and throat.

"...the victim was sleeping with headphones on before he was stabbed 40 or 50 times by the man sitting next to him."
I wonder if the noise from the headphone was the trigger that cause the crazy person to attack the victim. I am sure you all know what I am referring to as noise from the headphone, it can be very irritating.

"If her body was never recovered, how do they know he did it????"
CSI - They found the woman's blood and glasses in his company truck. Also, a witness saw the woman getting into his company truck. Another witness saw him trying to dig a hole in the ground in a remote location in the middle of the night.
If anyone wants to know more about this case, go to Honolulu Starbulletin and seach for "Lankford" on the website.

"no just copy-cat, Richard Gere-Shilpa Shetty scene from India."
Glad there are no religious police in Japan.

Glad they gave him life, although I would prefer without the possibility of parole.
If anyone is interested, here's an article from a Honolulu newspaper on this story.

Here's an excerpt from the article I have linked in my previous post.
"These hotels are justifiably outraged by this order, which puts them in the awkward position of having to craft pop-up messages explaining to their customers that their Web history, communications, searches and key strokes are being spied on by the Chinese government," Brownback said at a news conference...."
The problem goes beyond the Olympics. Think of what happens when the Olmpics is over. Do you think the communist government would allow the hotels to get rid of their monitoring programs? I don't think so. Which will mean all travelers to China would be subject to complete monitoring by the communist government on their internet use. Do you want them to know your passwords to your email accounts (person and business), online banking accounts, e-trade accounts, etc.?
Industrial espionage would be so easy. Don't forget a lot of companies in China are entirely or partly state owned.
This is very bad.

Sorry, I couldn't find the original article, but here's a link to a very similar article on LA Times. The article is dated July 30, 2008. BTW, I cut and pasted the links so there should not be any typo problems.

Restricting access to some websites is just part of the plan. The Chinese communist government is actually trying to spy on what you are typing on your keyboard. Check out the article on the attached link. Talk about invasion of privacy.

Why is cosplay considered "reduced to this"? Is it because it does not involve drinking till you puke? Or doing drugs? Or hooligans rioting in the streets?
