  1. Re:how long before kids fake it and buy bear or sm by inu_maru · · Score: 1 · on The Vending Machines of the Future

    Of course they don't sell bears cans in vending machines... they are just too expensive.

    Also, why bothering with vending machines?
    you can just buy it online: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/foodsmate/kumacurry_01

  4. In search of the Golden Poop by Bushcat · · Score: 2, Interesting · on RIAA Wins Worst Company In America 2007

    Wondering (as one does) how much of a market there could possibly be for golden poop, I noted the Japanese writing on the screen and followed the trail to http://www.rakuten.co.jp/bif-shop/448445/156668/: so that award cost somewhere between $18 and $35. I see the little one doubles up as a rubber stamp, too.

  5. PS3 sets on auction now: over $1000. by mattr · · Score: 1 · on The Dark Side of the PlayStation 3 Launch

    The /. editors must have been seriously constipated today. Slander Bezos for what is general practice, then turn around and blame Sony for selling the most advanced game machine in the world too cheaply. Honestly if those people really were homeless (and I can bet you they were not), that is probably the most lucrative and easiest job they could get!

    Anyway if you want to know where all those consoles are going, they are on auction (Japanese page at Rakuten). I haven't used Rakuten myself but it seems they don't display the closing prices for closed auctions. But never worry, there are a lot of consoles on sale.. well I see about 500 bids for 15 auctions. One auction still open at time of posting includes a PS3 60GB unit with memory card adapter and 4 games.

    The 18th bid has brought that up to 122,000 ($1037) it seems. Another auction has a 20GB machine and 2 software titles for 86,000 yen.. they have 8 units (or 8 homeless people according to Slashdot) and 116 bids.. the bidding started for this one at 10 yen and then Whoosh! Boy I wish I hadn't had my head in the sand! I thought (oh it will get cheaper quick) but I should have sold it on the web. Sheesh! Well this might not play U.S. titles, unless someone discovers a backdoor again.

Those displays with asteroids , minimalistic hands and those changing kanjis.... are completly geek ;)

  7. Re:Quite so. by Mattintosh · · Score: 4, Informative · on Car RFID Security System Cracked

    Actually, all the ones for the high-end Lexuses are not only a real key, but they're a very secure U-channel design. You can't see the key's cut shape, meaning you can't sneak a picture and cut one later, and it has the RFID-style circuit in addition to that.

    Here's a pic of the u-channel design: http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/lock/img1039136153. jpeg

  8. Re:Not Quite Sir by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Sir Peter Molyneux?
    I can see them all sitting around in the throne room: Queen: "I just appointed my 859th Officer!" Parliment: "WHAT?? NO! 859? Are you crazy! It should be perfectly obvious that Britain should not have more than exactly 858 Officers. Sheesh. What kind of Queen are you anyway?"

    I should certainly hope that you cannot see the Queen and Parliament sitting around in the throne room. There wouldn't be room and it would be most improper!

  9. There goes that Idea. by bmsleight · · Score: 1 · on Full X11-Based Distro For PDAs
    Great, been deciding all week the Best Price to buy a Zaurus or even import one to the UK, now that pound has a good rate against the YEN and Dollar.

    Typical every geek in the UK will now be ordering one and VAT man will be getting his share, once the volumes of direct imports go up.
