Did you see it on the "news" - those dudes lining up outside the venue and then going nuts in there. Some of them like in their 30s and 40s. Saddos.

Got one last week. I've been wanting something like this since I can remember. Perhaps since I was first watching Star Trek. Big screen, mobile, connectivity, no need for keyboard/mouse, very slick interface, tons of things to do on it. Netbooks are fine, but this is just a completely different - and improved - experience. Unless you are wanting to creat complex documents etc, but that's not what this is for. I think it's really great and look forward to the future of further improvements.

Quote: However what we see in The Cove - (and as I said ... it sure is one sided) - is the GOVERNMENT covering up, denying access, making false statements. They are not justifying the brutal slaughter of the dolphins, they are simply denying that it is happening. But. But. Are they? Actually? Or is the film being made that way? Or are they perhaps just ignoring hysterical gaijin trying to kick up a fuss in their own country?

Not sure there is one

But interview 100 people and you are always going to get 80 numbskulls. The people who edit the film presumably chose what they wanted to be in there so if you want the Japanese side to c

I don't know personally but a friend of mine used to work there and didn't seem to have any issues. And I'm pretty sure he isn't scummy and smarmy!
