Sadly, in the current implementation they are still pretty useless. I always try to use them like in any linux GUI desktop, but as I can't pin a single window, just a full application, it just doesn't work for me.
But if you want to have a full application on a separate virtual desktop I am sure it works perfect. It just doesn't work so very well with applications that have windows spread over several virtual desktops (Eg finder)
We switched from 2000 to XP when we bought new PCs. Or when a employee quit and we re-setup the box for the next one.
I never ever saw an update from one OS to the next one. Always clean installs from pre-setup install files.
The same will happen with XP -> 7. So once the end of life for the PCs is reached and we get new ones and all the software works. Then 7 will be installed.
There is no way, corporations will rush out and buy win 7 licenses just to upgrade from XP to 7. Never ever.
Every xbox 360 game I bought has a special sticker on top that is broken once it is opened. I doubt you could easily replace that. I have seen this on US versions, Asian (HK) Versions and Japanese Versions.
So how can you fake that?

As much I do like coding PHP I completely agree with you. The fact that $arr[0] is the same as $arr['0'] is just insane and that each function has a different order of needle, haystack, replace, etc is just unbearable... So much that I already have wrapper functions so they are all the same...
But unless I find years of time and unlimited money there is no way I can ditch all my php code and go to ruby or python or anything else...
Well, it always depends if you use english in real life. In Austria you have mandatory english from 6 years on until you graduate. But if you do not study it yourself with reading books and try to have conversations or use it anywhere, you stay monolingual. Most people from my class where "why do I need that stupid english".
Same here in Japan. All english movies on TV can be viewed in english or japanese. all movies in cinemas are subtitled and still the average japanese knows perhaps "Thank you" and "Sorry".
I am trilingual and a programmer and I am a guy. Does it help to know more than one language. For sure. Especially if your mother tongue is not english. Most good documentation is in english. All of my programming books are in english. I actually studied all the programming languages from english texts. My third language is useful because I life in a different country.
Yeah, because 100% of those "violent" games are developed in germany. hahaha. simple minded politicians... Violent games, make no violent people. Or else 99% of the boys around the world would do nothing else than shoot people.
Actually an average phone usage time is between 6 months and 1.5 years. It is rare to see phones beeing popular for longer.
The most high usage time is mostly around 6~8 months.
I do mobile phone stats for my clients since around 2004 and it is really interesting to see how fast new phones get adapted and become top device. It can go in 1~2 months for very popular models.
To be honest. Japanese tech is geared towards the japanese user. It is not for westerners.
Sad but true. If you pay a TV here, you get all the nifty features for the japanese market. A lot of the features here are only for japanese people and follow the japanese mind.
That is why 90% of the foreigners were weeping tears that they could finally get an iPhone.
I didn't get one, because I already figured out all the small things what my phone can do and what I would miss on an iPhone.
Regarding TV buying. You need to look them up in kakaku.com and then haggle. Plus be careful how to compare lines from US to Japan. I tried to that from Japan to Europe but the model I bought here does not exist in their European line up. So I couldn't do 1:1 price compare.
That depends how you use your mobile phone. There a gazillion of mobile pages optimized of japanese mobile phones, and mostly they are of japanese people. If you can't read japanese you are probably not really interested in them.
On the other hand there are a gazillion of pages a foreigner might want to read, in PC format. But japanese people mostly don't care about them.
Hence, unless you have proper full browser on your phone, you won't be able to see them.
I tend to differ, plus I would take debito with grain of salt.
It depends what house you buy. There are houses built with steel girders and special earth quake resistance, and then there are much cheaper ones.
They do not have central heating in Tokyo or southern parts, but up in the north they definitely do. But they will all have Air conditioning, electronic controlled bath-tub water fillers + reheating, security systems and what not else.
Do they have a resell value? No idea. Most the time I see them torn down after the last old person dies and be replaced with something else.

Yes it can. I did that, 6 years ago, and I have no problems with Viruses and Malware.

Well sorry to hear that Mr.iPhone user ;)
Youp. The tons of paperwork I produce every month just to satisfy buchou & kachou is just amazing. And on the other hand they all cry about Eco ...
but draft and draught can both have different meanings too I think. Don't they?
It's enough to look at an average Object-C code. Any code word there is like 20 chars long ...

Actually KFC exists in Japan, so it would make sense ... somehow ...

They are all more or less correct.
I just see more and more people pay with their Suica or Pasomo than with their mobile phone.
I haven't seen many combining them on their phone, thought this is the most usefull stuff ever invented since sliced bread :)

Except Softbank, none other carrier actually uses SMS/MMS. They all create a normal MIME email and attach the image to it.
They same way they create "deco-mail" which is nothing else than MIME HTML mail + text + images.
well in japan you just send a mime mail with an attachement.
MMS is something I only know from places where they use SMS.

Then of course the iPhone is usefull.

This is as likely to happen, as the US moves away from miles, farenheit and other not more used things.
The costs, the problems, etc would be so big, just not doable.
Plus, do you really want to relearn the clock stuff? No thanks.
This will hopefully change with 8.4 release.
So true!
