  1. Wondering if we can expect a comment from Borat on this matter?

  2. Who cares what's under the hood? on Ford To Stop Selling Every Car In North America But the Mustang, Focus Active (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    In Japan almost every 6 months a new version is put on the market so consumers have something to choose from. New models look different and usually have a ton of new features. Who cares that the metal chassis is exactly the same as that of a 10 year old model?

  3. Let me guess .... only 1 color? on Ford To Stop Selling Every Car In North America But the Mustang, Focus Active (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Or any color as long as it's black?

  4. Don't forget about the official certifications on Japan Could Have More Than 3 Million Cryptocurrency Traders (coindesk.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It almost looks like a risk free investment if the Ministry of Finance hands out official certifications to all those bitcoin investment companies. And with interest rates close to zero on savings ($.48 on $100K saving) and no ROI on any other type of investments, a lot of Japanese are looking for other ways to invest their money.

  5. Better than handing over 20% of US's uranium to R. on Cambridge Analytica Whistleblower Says Data From 87 Million Users Could Be Stored In Russia (cnn.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What was the name of that politician again?

  6. Caring == extra costs for Twitter on Jack Dorsey Responds To Serial Killer Who Found His Victims Through Suicidal Twitter Posts (nhk.or.jp) · · Score: 1

    So never expect any empathy from Jack Dorsey because any attempt to intervene is a penny from his own pocket/bonus.

  7. Wrong platform dude on Twitter Bans, Removes Verified Status of White Supremacists (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    For truth verification you ought to be on Facebook. Twitter only revoked the right to be a verified scumbag.

  8. McCain having a nice chat with IS and al Qaeda on Russia Posts Video Game Screenshot As 'Irrefutable Proof' of US Helping IS (bbc.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    There was no need for the fabrication of evidence as the US already created it's own evidence : https://a.disquscdn.com/upload...

  9. Only in Japan you have to pay a premium on Nintendo Reportedly Plans To Double Switch Production In 2018 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    One cannot even get a Switch for the price that Nintendo is advertising on TV. You have indeed to pay an extra $100 to get even the basic model. This has been going on since the beginning and while shortages have dissappeared abroad, here in Japan Nintendo it's still almost impossible just to buy a Switch. That has nothing to do with lead times. It's just arrogance of Nintendo, gambling that customers will buy their product anyway.

  13. Russians just build the d*** machine on Russian Defense Company Demos A One-Person Flying Car (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

    and worry about the details and looks later. Americans like Musk first come up with a slick animation video about how cool it's all going the look, ask for your money and hopefully will come up with something remotely related within 5 years.

  14. Does it have AI? on The World's First Blockchain Smartphone Is In Development (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Without AI, it's already outdated before it is released....

  15. Are they using A.I.? on Ford Is Using Microsoft's HoloLens To Design Cars In Augmented Reality (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    The holo lens is so 2016. Why use such outdated technology if you can have AI to come up with the best design.

    so all those overrated 'I-worked-at-Yahoo' idiots don't find their way into other companies. Those know-nothing-can-do-nothing morons are like a plague.
