@eirwen: No, Japan started doing this to all foreigners well before the US. Key word all.

@ZFK: Well I reckon you should never go to Japan because they've been doing that for years.

I really don't understand why people are nagging about, the post was a good read and was intended to show just how much the market has changed in relation to Apple and MS.

@OMG! Relyt!: Sorry, but I had a 'lol' moment where you said the 'lack of a... backlit keyboard are deal breakers.'

@ZFK: That or it gives you a message stating that, 'Your phone may be to slow to play this video'.

@halmsx: Same.

@Zinger314: That's basically what I thought. While I have a yahoo email account that's nearly a decade old, I don't know anyone who actually uses yahoo messenger.

@MinervaAlpaca: That show pisses me off because Clark is the biggest wanker, and yet I watch it every week.

@verazula: 'He's still going to jail for a while, ass beaten or not.' Assuming the bike isn't stolen, he'll receive no more than 6 months... if even that. But irrespective of the length, be it 3 months or 6, I'm sure he'll think that the time served will be more than worth it. If I were acting on his behalf I'd…

These officers are obviously bigger idiots than the guy who ran. While I don't feel sorry for him for getting his arse kicked, I definitely don't believe he deserves the million dollar plus settlement/judgment he'll receive from/against the city.

@hawkeye18: Well, you know what they say, 'It's only queer if it's on the pier.' [/gayish joke]
