Let's hope they fix the Japanese translator error that translates "man" (ten thousand) as "million" often. Rather risky if doing business......

White bread from Japanese convenience stores can be left out for literally weeks or even over a month without any signs of deterioration. Scary.

One thing to remember: You can always get another job, but getting another family is much harder.

Not to be confused with the online shopping extension "Down The Mall"....

I'm not sure how good Google is at separating out Gmail and Googlemail addresses. Just after my son was born he received an email to the account I had set up for him while he was still in utero. (Aside: I wonder whether signing up an as-yet-unborn person constitutes a violations of their Terms of Use....)

When I was a student in the UK, we used to keep things like milk cartons etc on our window sills in the winter to save money on actually getting a fridge. Great idea - until the weather turns windy and innocent bystanders below get hit.

As Google Adwords guru, Perry Marshall, said: Putting Yahoo and MS together (in terms of online offerings, at least) is like hoping two IQ75s will become an IQ150 genius. A bit harsh, but you get the picture.

Straight out of the old standard "What Color is Your Parachute?" I did not read the NYT article, so I don't know whether they referenced it, but this book is the first place I came across the term well over ten years ago, and so I hope they did give credit where it was due.

Multiple income streams. For example: Your regular job + your eBay hobby income + ADsense income from your website + your investment returns. Anything to avoid being 100% reliant on the main job itself.

I agree with the commenters above that it is too late now. The way I worked college at undergraduate and graduate level was to work hard and consistently 9 to 5. That way I could have evenings for other stuff while still making sure I was putting in the hours. By working consistently, it meant that I already had a…

My feeling is that Mint is an even more user friendly option for someone thinking of switching to Linux. I have not made the leap yet, but Mint has definitely caught my eye.

I bought an MP3 of surf sounds and burned it onto a CD that runs continuously in my 15-month son's room while he is asleep. He is a very good sleeper, although I don't know whether the wave sounds assist in this, but we have been using this for about a year now and think it is good.

These guys are already behind the curve, coz A href="[www.spock.com]">Spock is out to get all your personal information out there.

I'm addicted to oxygen, water and food, following the thinking behind this survey question.

The cat was violating the privacy of the dude in the Google photo truck by looking through the windows of the truck from it high-spy vantage point. I hope the guy sues the cat.

I second the click fraud concern.

Don't kick yourself if you do not know what you want to do with your life yet. You've been in an institutional greenhouse for most of your life and almost certainly do not have a reasonable amount of data to make a decision about what your real passion is yet.

I used to use EverNote, but now I have moved 100% online and use Google NoteBook. Evernote would have been great 5 years ago, but we are now in the Web2.0 world and I want to live online.

I find a full NBC suit coupled with "Radiation" and "Biohazard" signs get rid of all but the most persistent interuptions.

I'm going to try using it for translations. My company allows people overseas to buy through Japanese car auctions. I have to translate Japanese on the auction sheets into English, and there are a lot of phrases that come up all the time. I will put all the common phrases in the list and then it will only help me when…
