Apple farmer here. I don't know a lot about Japan's climate changes, but I do have an alternate theory on this. First off- our Fuji here in NY are phenomenal. They're still super crunchy and delicious. Ask anybody. However, if there is a decline in crispness and flavor like they're claiming, my first instinct…

Been a single car family for 2 years now, can only think of a couple instances where it was moderately inconvenient. I bike almost everywhere and my wife has a 50cc scooter for when I'm using the car to do things. The savings are huge and most people can probably make it work if they really need to.

Eric, bravo!

This is really cool. Wife and I can leave the older son home alone with my phone. We can call to check in, but he won't be left with unlimited and unsupervised internet access...

Yeah that works really well. You can also lock out the portions of the screen that save and open new images so your child is really just locked into the drawing.

I will definitely be using this tonight so my 11 month old can draw in the Paper app without swiping out of it! Thanks lifehacker!
