You can use the symbol if it is for movies or documentations. Beyond that is strictly forbidden. Doesn't of course stop stupid young people smear it on bus stops, chairs, etc.
and PC changes what? If eg cs3 does not work in windows 7 for example, he has the same problem. If you are a professional designer, you are very much locked in to Photoshop, Illustrator, inDesign, etc. There are no alternatives.
And the biggest Problem is the versions, We have have all possible version of everything here at work, from old school os9 photoshop, to cs, cs2, cs3, cs4.
And why does he need to upgrade to snow leopard if he doubts cs3 will be supported there? And as written above, what support? And cs3 works (see here: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/).
And if he thinks he can replace any of the Adobe tools with some open source thing, good luck and happy failure. Gimp will not replace Photoshop at all, not even close. Especially on OS X it is not only a mess, but dog slow. I don't use Inkscape a lot, so I can't say how it holds up to Illustrator, neither can I say anything about Scribus because I have not even tried it.
But when you need to deliver a document to be printed on a offset printer and you tool does not support CMYK and the connected tools for it, you are pretty much very much ultimate screwed.
I doubt there are any videos. But photos you can find on the nttdocomo, kddi/au and softbank homepage. they all have english versions too, so should be no problem.
Anyway, for example I want to send a new mail: Press mail button, press 4, write mail or I want to delete some mail Press mail button, press 1, press sub menu, press left, press 6, press 1 (for one mail), press okay.
And then the japanese input on a japanese phone is just amazing fast. As it a) remembers what you used and b) gives very good examples of what you want to write (in Kanji). the iPhone interface just feels clumsy and slow in my opinion, as you need to use your fingers to choose. using keys to quickly click through the options is just way faster in my opinion. touch interface is nice, but not the solution to all the interface problems.
Again, all the keypad keys are reachable with one finger and the layout is always the same, I can do this blind and very very fast compared to an iPhone where I have to look where I tap (eg delete one mail, or choose Kanji from the selection list).
And this goes on, eg I want to send someone my contact info. press menu, press 0, press "send info via IR" and you are done. Some of those core functions are the same on all phones, so it is easy to do the basic things on any phone of any brand of any provider.
But basically the base layout of the phones for one provider are all the same, so it is very easy to use a phone from a different maker, as the basic functions are always in the same place.
and all the functions in a japanese phone are this way. eg japanese mobile pages all use the key flag for a href stuff, so normal 0 is go back to top page, and eg 4 is previous, 6 is next, 5 is top of the page.
For me iPhone is just a tapping game, tapping and scrolling and it feels much slower to work with than if I do the same things on my japanese phone.
But yes, the iPhone is a hit now (as it is bloody cheap, the old 3G is a 0 yen phone) and even my boss (around 40) got himself an iPhone yesterday. Almost all of my foreign friends have one... it is just me, who sticks with his trusty japanese phone.
Actually those are per phone features and listed in the "we do this too", but are not selling points.
I agree that Wifi Sharing is kind of strange, but some phones (those who have BlueTooth, kust a view) offer a point that you can easy use them as dial up modems for your laptop.
If you look into the selling points per phone, they are often pictures, movies, TV, map/gps. So pretty straight forward things.
I don't use most of the features my phone has, so a iPhone would be complete waste of money. As long as I can send normal mail (in japanese), use gps/maps and make a normal phone call I am fine...
To be honest, I love the japanese interface way over the iPhone one. I need to swipe and tap around. with a japanese interface all menus have shortcuts for the number keys. I am so fast to reply, write a mail, or do anything compared to when I try to do it on an iPhone.
Because Sharp phones only sell in Japan. Like Panasonic, or Mitsubishi, or NEC. Of course there will be no story here. Who cares outside of Japan about phones that only work in Japan. Nobody. iPhone gets huge press because it is the current hyper cool thing to have in US & perhaps Europe too.
I really don't know about Japan though. My guess is that Softbank has a very very cheap plan for the iPhone, plus you get it super cheap with some 1 or 2 year contract.
But just from my short views is that quite a lot of my japanese friends who have an iphone, still use their old phone too. But well, iPhone is just something I really do not get... I stick with my normal phone where i can use a sekigaisen to just transfer contact info:)
Erm, Germany is doing this too. Every country will do that. With the reason of Porn, Child Porn or whatever. But at the end it is just to protect the aristocracy, the ruling class, the dictators we always vote for.
Well, manuals are a bit problematic. Where the commands and things you could do in DOS 3.1 were very limited, the stuff you can do in XP is enormous compared to DOS. To have similar detailed printed manual would weight a ton, cost a ton, and destroy tons of trees for nothing (99% of the people who have XP probably never even read any of the manuals that came with it).

Just with a over thumb calculation I could live 21 years if I would spend over the top. and probably 30 years if spend in a normal level.
Still, as hundred times said, no company will go for that. Unless it is Rupert M. He wanted to get out the Google index anyway :)
Well I don't care if I find Ford in my search results. IBM might be a little bit annoying, but then, search on their page.
On the other hand, neither of their company will remove themselves from one of the most important search engines ...
The answers are not masked out anyway. You just need to scroll to the bottom. Just makes the whole thing a major facepalm.
No, but if there are no games & bread there will be civil uprise.
Well, perhaps the Americans shouldn't have supported the Taliban back then when Russians where there.
Better choose Carmaggedon where the killing of pedestrians was sort of necessary to boost your time.
And man that was fun.
Sanitation is something which is never ever talked about. Seems you do not need to take a crap in the future at all.
this can be solved with a timestamp at which the user loaded the data, first come, first servers. second one gets notice the data has been changed.
Actually by that time there was no industry left. Furthermore they didn't target the factories only they just flat out bombed everything.
But this is war, war is always a crime. On both sides.

There are tons of train crazy people recording videos and shit in trains. I really stopped caring about that.
And most people will think the same, if my old SDTV wouldn't have broken down, I would have never went to HDTV.
I think if apple would keep carbon forever, Adobe would be in Carbon forever. So they kick Adobe in the balls to finally move all over to Cocoa.

I just gave one in my comment.

um, Felcia needs an RFI chip inside, does it have one? Not that I know ...
but there is a oneSeg attachment for the iphone in Japan.
yes it is. back to oldschool typing and telling ... seriously. do. not. want.

Mothra sleeps under my desk. He just goes out in the evening to suck on poor salary mans blood on the commuter train.

You can do the same thing with IE. Safari still has a lot of core stuff (webkit) which is used in Mail.app, Dashboard widgets, etc.
