China and Japan will invest millions to develop IPv6.
It will rely on Hitachi's own IPv6-enabled network equipment
Excuse me? Am I understanding this right - Japan has yet to develop IPv6 systems, but when they do eventually make them they will rely on Hitachi's IPv6 network... ?
Ummm, Hitachi is a Japanese company. IPv6 is in wider use in Japan than anywhere else in the world. Is this the same FUD that told us European WAP is much better than Japanese imode??
But on theinquirer, this is preaching to the converted, and the linux side banner "blindingly easy" betrays a lack of objectivity in approach. I'm not trolling, but this article won't be noticed by the people who really need to see it.

They're not so great at implementation. This is becoming very obvious with the slow uptake of.NET because of it's poor implementation. The reason? Testing. Testing. Testing. This should be the present mantra at Microsoft because they can't afford the time before release to adequately test their software.
I'd be the first to admit that Microsoft Word is a great application. But every Word user I ever met decided to "get to know how Word" after it wiped that important document.

There's an important watershed around 13-14 when kids start looking for this stuff behind their parents' backs. When this happens, no-one is likely to be in a position to stop them seeing it.

Cost of new battery for same phone ~JPY6,000
If DoCoMo make a new plugin-type battery it will need to be for the whole range or people won't buy new phones!
If we don't look up they can't see our faces, right?
