When I was in Japan recently I noticed a pretty huge volume of Softbank commercials on TV demonstrating the new features, so it could be that. Anyway the 3GS isn't much different from the 3G so I don't think there is any one feature that has suddenly got people buying it. I think it's the almight Apple marketing machine learning from previous lessons.
I was wondering if there was anything equivalent to the Data Protection Act in the America:
Data may only be used for the specific purposes for which it was collected.
Data must not be disclosed to other parties without the consent of the individual whom it is about, unless there is legislation or other overriding legitimate reason to share the information (for example, the prevention or detection of crime). It is an offence for Other Parties to obtain this personal data without authorisation.
Individuals have a right of access to the information held about them, subject to certain exceptions (for example, information held for the prevention or detection of crime).
Personal information may be kept for no longer than is necessary and must be kept up to date.
Personal information may not be sent outside the European Economic Area unless the individual whom it is about has consented or adequate protection is in place, for example by the use of a prescribed form of contract to govern the transmission of the data.
Subject to some exceptions for organisations that only do very simple processing, and for domestic use, all entities that process personal information must register with the Information Commissioner's Office.
Entities holding personal information are required to have adequate security measures in place. Those include technical measures (such as firewalls) and organisational measures (such as staff training).
Subjects have the right to have factually incorrect information corrected (note: this does not extend to matters of opinion).
Rewind his example back three years or forward two and make the same comparison. The recession won't be a factor but the US healthcare system will still suck. Shortsighted you are.
I'm European and I found the same when applying for jobs in both Japan and America. I guess relocating people is the second best choice no matter where they are from.
Oh, not that tired old justification again. What is it with the American psyche that feels the need to justifify such barbarity?
The reason the bomb was dropped was because it cost a fortune to build and congress would ask serious questions if it wasn't used. The "saving lives" argument only appeared later on. You need to go back and read the history again.
Some scientists believe that human-caused climate change is playing a role, but others doubt this.
I've read lots of spiffy evidence to support climate change but it really itches my gizzard when 'scientists' attribute every tiny aberration in the weather to it.
However, it might just turn out that these clouds are caused by cow farts and thrown away McDonalds wrappers so I should probably just wait for these opposing scientists to finish pansy-slapping each other before I start verbally abusing them from my arm-chair.

But how do you know that you won't have to wait another 8 years until windows 7 is secure?
Ewww. You really should wash that out every once in a while...
Oh dear. I can just imagine it on Craigslist:
NEW PACKAGE for 2009! Contract hit + framing of your choice! Just $15,000!
There are even cheaper solutions involving jailbreaking and appulous...

Thankfully common sense has prevailed. This is one monopoly that the world should be glad to see the back of.
That makes me feel less bad about downloading music and movies.

I don't think I'd want that on my concience either. If you had a chance to go back in time and kill the creator of Perl, you'd probably do it.
You're just jealous because it wasn't you're bad analogy.

Oh that was funny. Unfortunately no mods noticed. :(
It is believed that HIV jumped to humans eating gorilla meat. Note to self, no more gorilla burgers.
Yes but the rich lazy bastards aren't the ones sponging off the state.
I think you're confusing Scotland and England.
Well, apart from that one dude at college....
From watching the video, did anyone else notice that it seems to modelled on a human who was badly needing the toilet?
Are you sure? That sounds suspiciously like Chuck Noris' chair rather than something that might belong to Balmer...
This displeases me mightily:

He should spend less time being displeased with his mouse and more time experimenting with his new-found telekinesis.
Somewhere there is moaning and scrabbling underground. The cartidges are trying to rise up out of the landfill...
What is this? A "false flag" for geeks?
Sorry banking isn't quite that tough. It's the monitors on mounts, not me....
