Apple and Facebook? A little out of touch. It is China that is outpacing Japan and the US. Funny he does not recognize this. Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, etc are the ones to watch

Posted in: Investors eye Dragon Coin: Token sale may become largest initial coin offering ever See in context
These ICOs are only good for the initial run up in price. IMHO any coin other than bitcoin will eventually fail as they are all controlled by someone. There are people at the top of each coin organization earning a fortune. At any given moment the government could shut it down, or the development team could walk out, or the founder could dump all his coins (see Charlie Lee of litecoin). Point is any coin or token with high level of centralization is like buying a stock in that company. Bitcoin: decentralized, no owner or company running it, true p2p. Unstoppable. Perhaps not a currency for us, but definitely a currency for future generations. Think about that for a moment.

Posted in: U.S. airman arrested in Okinawa for causing accident while driving drunk See in context
41 years old, he must have been important given the pace at which rank is awarded in the US. And obviously he has responsibilities requiring work at night when a military base is most vulnerable. Down the pub for a few quick beers before driving to work, just to take the edge off - you know. It's sad but true that the drink culture in many militaries is so pervasive that it often leads to wide spread alcoholism. This is well known and is being addressed, but I have not seen the numbers so cannot comment on this. -military brat.
