...how does that save the planet? Surely the CO2 emitted from the plane that flew 3 girls to Japan, to hold up signs written in English, would have been more detrimental to the planet than me nomming on a medium-rare steak?
I remember the first time I went to Japan I was in a central Tokyo station waiting for the Shinkansen to Kyoto and a school party was waiting nearby...had they been older I would have easily mistaken them for army cadets, just on how organised and di...
I only use my Gmail for official use (jobs, mainly) so when I realised Buzz was automatically turned on, I was a bit concerned. http://lifehacker.com/5469388/stop-google-buzz-from-showing-the-world-your-contacts
I had no idea a Kindle cost that much, but then again I don't know anyone who has one or any other e-reader. Even my friends who keep up with this kind of stuff don't see the point in them. I guess more than anything I'm just disappointed that it's j...
The prices are already out: WiFi only models are: $499 - 16GB $599 - 32GB $699 - 64 GB 3G models are: $629 - 16GB $729 - 32GB $829 - 64 GB Considering the Mac Mini starts at $599, I'd say this won't sell very well at all.
I honestly don't see this getting off the ground. It costs nearly twice as much as a normal netbook and can only do the same as an iPod Touch does which costs a quarter of the price. With the popularity of the hackintosh's I'm surprised Apple haven't...
I've used British Airways and Air France to get to Japan. British Airways were very nice and the service was brilliant. The second time I went with a cheaper connecting flight through Charles De Gaulle, which is a nightmare to navigate jet lagged, an...

My girlfriend loves Japanese things, but when it comes to anime girls she's sometimes less-than-forgiving. Even having a Lucky Star wallpaper lead to "you're ogling schoolgirls!" >_>
That was always the first thing that hit me when I visit Japan - the high quality service in shops. Hell, you can't get bags nowadays without having to force it out of them.
I've been to Japan once last year and I'm going again in 6 days. The general rule of thumb is in Tokyo it's Akihabara on the first day, Pokemon Centre on the second, then Akihabara again on the third. Everywhere else is sightseeing and general wander...
Aww, bloody hell Mr. Choo! Now I'm going to spend all day searching for that ¥60,000 Ibanez Les Paul. That was a really nice bit of philosophy you mentioned about death. I love how you sporadically place beautiful nuggets of thoughts like that in the...
