See NASA site for what THEY found: http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html. JAXA is hoping to take that research further with newer technology.

Did he climb a construction site and throw barrels at people? Because that would be a probable cause of his heart failure.

Alternative, less Tokyo-centric article headline: "Fujisawa, Kanagawa leading the path in creating sustainable urban spaces."

Kawasaki is near Tokyo, Sagamihara. You can say Yokohama is kind of close. Fujisawa is deep in Kanagawa prefecture, which is not even named.

I watched the video and then read the article. My first thought: "There was an iMac G4 on her desk?" Didn't notice.

My dentist has an iMac G4. The design looks perfect for a doctor's office. Maybe Apple will go back to white one day.

I don't get it. Why is there no shame on that man's face? What is wrong with him?

The optimist in me wants to hope that it will truly be free and useful for travelers. The realist knows that once connected, the user will get a "log in with your docomo/softbank account" screen in Japanese only.

So the rumors that the trailer release date would be announced this week were true. (can you get more meta than that?)

Question: Is air travel between Japan and the Kingdom of Luxembourg possible?

Answer: It's not because if it were, we'd see Luxembourgians in the streets. Since we don't see any, it must not be possible.

Lack of visitors from the future doesn't mean we'll never develop a method. It could be that we develop a method, but it requires a device at the destination.

Don't see that happening. Sorry.

Imagine your mom making a public comment when you have a work anniversary: "Congratulations sweetie. I'll make you your favourite pancakes with raspberry jam when you drop in."

Imagine potential employers making sure that you don't "Like" competition's product.

Imagine that shameful photo that someone tagged you in, being a click away for your boss.

Sounds like an article from the Onion.

US government, the organization notorious for exploiting vulnerabilities to listen in on sensitive data, possibly also taking part in creating the vulnerabilities, is warning people about a potential breach. What's next?

As a reformed smaho zombie, I feel deep regret when bumping into my former brethren.

It's rude, but if you catch a glimpse of their screens, you hardly ever see anything requiring immediate attention, like GPS guidance or quick message from the person they're about to meet. 90% of the time, the screen is filled with colorful candy game characters that the walker absolutely HAS to manipulate while walking along the train platform or staircase.

Does it play "Let it go"?

Could be good. Will see.

The only way Apple can unify anything is if they become the only player in a niche.

Apple's goals are not to unify. It's a for-profit company and creating open standarts is not profitable.

Not feeling safe right now

Nintendo contributed to a whole generation, staying up to beat the boss in the last level. Nintendo users deal well with all-nighters.

Adebaran, the French company making Pepper, must have really good sales people. Export robots TO Japan. WOW!

Not all Chaplin movies are silent.

Is the police checking possible connection to the three Chinese men who bought too many diapers?

Slow news day indeed.

As a former dial-up and BBS and usenet user, I approve this app. Back then, the Internet was called a "global village" because we could talk freely with people on other continents and they wouldn't be a click away from all the photos we were tagged in. It was about the topic, not about who you may know and whose birthday it was.

Kind of like Japan Today comments. Japan Today comment board is cool.

No way! John Connor, Batman AND Steve Jobs? Christian Bale is just covered in awesomeness.

I'm picturing chewing stations at fitness clubs. LOL.

(trekkie geekery warning)

I don't see how they can bring the original Kirk into the rebooted Star Trek universe. In "Generations", he was already placed in a pocket universe (Nexus) so he could meet Picard. Now that the original Spock created the alternate timeline of the reboot, original Kirk would have to cross the Nexus, time and timeline border.

OR, the new Scotty could just whip up an experimental model of the transporter that brings old, fat and grumpy versions of crew from alternate realities. DONE. We can bring most of the old crew back.

"What's that smell? Is someone cooking Kung Pao Chicken?"

"No, it's just the CSAir plane landing."

Good idea, overall. Much better than poisoning restaurant customers.

Next up in Technology: Apple and IBM kindly ask Google to remove the search results featuring Steve Jobs giving the IBM logo the middle finger:

Everything is much hotter in the USA, with their Farhenheits. Has anyone measured with a normal thermometer?

Finally, a way to summon Chibatman!

Once a gambler, always a gambler.

He knew when to hold them, knew when to fold them. Knew when to walk away, knew when to run.

Actually, Microsoft made a smartwatch back in 2004. Nobody noticed.

Except maybe for David Pogue who made fun of it in his "Simplicity sells" talk.

By the way, one of his issues with the SPOT watch was charging it every day. Like the upcoming Apple watch.

So much for the myth that the money we pay for the albums goes to the artists.

It's lawyers, salespeople and accountants all the way down.
