I think the opposite is true. A regular Japanese keitai is a lot more complicated to use, and they have a lot of functions that people just don't use, whether they are too difficult to use, or just not something they want to use. Smartphones allow the user to pick what applications or functions their phone will have, so they are easier to use and more useful to the owner of the phone.

The news has stated that she had told her father that she wanted to go where her mother was. She was depressed because of the death of her mother. Something must have happened with her boyfriend which acted as a trigger. A sad story, she seemed like a nice person.

It would probably work if you had a US ip address. I use a free one called Hotspot Shield to watch HULU. I heard that it worked with Netflix, but I haven't tried it. Do a search for free vpn service.

I had a case of reverse culture shock when I went back to the States and saw rather large people ordering cake and diet soda, like it would make a difference. I guess they think that since they are "saving" calories by drinking diet soda, they can afford to eat whatever they want. The cake or other food is what's killing these people, not the soda. Completely agree with JeffLee. You can't really compare water drinkers to soda drinkers, probably completely different lifestyles.

I watched the game with the sound off. It was great. I agree with Ironchef about Cahill. What a whiner. Also, do you think the Australina player who drove his shoulder into Kawashima while he had his arms up catching the ball? The ref didn't see it, but it is pretty blatant on the videos I saw.

She's actually not that rich. She's working hard to remain in the entertainment industry, because her only real claim to fame is having been a member of the Onyanko Club. Not necessarily a talented member, but a member nonetheless. Lucky to have won the lottery. I'm still waiting...

Yes, a great musician and good actress. By the way, since it is listed under entertainment news, I would say it IS news.

Another reason for the outrage may be that the image of burning books brings back images of HItler and the Nazis to some people.
