I don't understand how people can label Nokia products as crap. Their line of smartphones are the best-selling ones in this country (which is easily one of the biggest markets in the world, and where people are quite the fetishists about mobile phones). Sure, Samsung and SonyEricsson have made their presence felt in recent times, but Nokia is still the preferred brand with people here, and the N8 promises to be quite the contender to other "hip" smartphones.
Would it be ok to call it the North American Flu, then? Coz I heard on the news (Reuters, I believe) that it came with someone from California, who was visiting the La Gloria region in Mexico.
I'm into the underground metal scene, wherein almost all bands are promoted either by indie labels or by personal efforts on part of the bands. It is a very curious scene, in that most bands do not wish to actively reach out to an audience. Some Black metal bands, in fact have an aversion to being known outside their own circle. So someone, who likes this style of music would almost never hear about these bands through the Bittorrent network. This is where I believe a site like the Metal Archives is of so much help. It currently lists over 67000 bands, with detailed info about the bands, their discography, album reviews; all categorized by genre and country. I guess a similar effort would pay dividends for indie labels of other genres as well.

The U.S. still uses a jury system for judicial processes? Isn't that really cumbersome?
It's London, not Atlanta, that has that population, and I think it's more in the region of 7.5 million, Atlanta is in the 500000 people range.
could be pursued with an arrest warranty for breaking the law of a country they have never set foot in.
An arrest Warranty? Wonder when that expires...
