After 18 hours of flights, I'm in Tokyo and ready for this week's Tokyo Motor Show. But, thanks to my good friend jet lag I can't get to sleep. Anyone know a good Yakitori place in Narita open this late?
Seriously, Narita is like the Romulus of Tokyo. And by that I mean Romulus of MI, not the Star Trek planet. Meaning, it's where the airport's located and that's about it. So, anyone know anything fun to do around these parts past midnight? Any open-all-night car shops? Anything? I'm chewing four pieces of Jolt Gum, eating an oatmeal raisin cooking and drinking a cup of something called Pocari Sweat. I'm freakin' bored out of my mind here! Anyone have any ideas for anything to do past midnight near the Excel Hotel in Narita? Screw this — I'm just going to go stare at cars in the hotel parking lot.

Having just posted my thoughts on the Dell/Linux sham, it hit me… This must be the sound of Ubuntu's death rattle.
Having failed to turn a profit year after year, Canonical/Ubuntu has put all of its remaining energy into this deal: from the website re-design with the focus on Dell, to the recent video/talk marketing efforts made by Mr. Shuttleworth.
I _would_ say that all the eggs have been placed into the same basket, but if you look at the past, you quickly realize the rest of the eggs have already been broken and this is a last effort attempt to save a sinking ship.
Since the beginning, Canonical/Ubuntu has been burning millions per year, without seeing any returns — even with a userbase of 2-6 million, and a deployment on 4-16 million systems. And this Dell move is supposed to turn things around?…
Do the numbers:
Dell's expected sales are at 20,000 systems per year. Who and how many are going to shell out $65 for 30-days worth of support? Zero. Maybe, at best, less than 1%. Same logic applies to the more expensive, yearly, support contracts.
This Dell deal is a joke that's going sell a handful of systems and net Canonical a few more contracts, relatively worth pennies. Pushing Linux on the average Joe [who is just going to ship the system back] will also backfire. I mean, who else is going to buy these systems? The fanboys that started this mess in the first place? Don't make me laugh!
And for Ubuntu, after Dell, where is there to go from here but down?
It almost sounds as if this deal was set up to fail from the beginning. If Microsoft is behind this move, they have done a good job of pulling the strings. It's a sad day today.

'Drugstore Cowboy' pleads not guilty in robbery case
The author of "Drugstore Cowboy," who police say robbed a Redmond pharmacy last month, pleaded not guilty Thursday to first-degree robbery.
James Fogle, 73, is being held on $500,000 bail and is next expected to be in court July 12.
Fogle became famous beyond police lineups by writing a novel about longtime drug users who robbed pharmacies. Filmmaker Gus Van Sant turned the unpublished novel into a movie by the same name, "Drugstore Cowboy," in 1989, and Fogle's book hit shelves the following year.
Fogle also has spent significant stretches of his adult life in prison, sometimes for committing the sort of crimes he described in his novel.
Police say on May 25, Fogle and another man were trying to steal prescription drugs from Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy, at 15840 Redmond Way. It's about a half mile from the Redmond police headquarters.
Police say minutes after the pharmacy's 9 p.m. closing Tuesday, Fogle and his alleged accomplice -- who in 1986 was convicted of a sex crime -- pushed their way into the pharmacy through a back exit door after Fogle flashed a gun in his waistband.
In addition to a pink bandanna, Fogle had a hood over his head and yellow latex gloves, according to court documents. Police say the accomplice wore a dark ski mask and a dark hooded sweatshirt.
Court documents show the robbers directed employees to the back of the pharmacy where the drugs were stored. One of the employees hit a silent alarm, made her way to doors and attempted to place paper pamphlets to keep it from closing and locking. She saw a woman customer outside and whispered for her to call 911.
The employee then went to the back of the store with the two other employees. One was zip tied and police say the accomplice had another open a secure area of the pharmacy where drugs were stored. The man dumped pills into two plastic trashcans, according to court documents
He then used zip ties to tie the other employees' hands behind their backs, police say.
"A short time later, James Fogle walked out the back door on the north side of the pharmacy carrying a plastic trash can in each hand," Redmond Detective Jeff Howerton wrote in an incident report.
Officers, who responded to the pharmacy in about two minutes, arrested him and determined the weapon was a BB gun modeled after a semiautomatic handgun. The trashcans he was carrying were full of pharmaceuticals, according to court documents.
About 20 seconds after Fogle was arrested, police say his accomplice walked out with the ski mask and dark gloves. He was arrested and officers found a loaded 32-caliber handgun on a shelf about 20 feet from the back door of the pharmacy.
The zip tied women told police "they feared for their lives and that they were concerned that they would be hurt or killed by the suspects," Howerton wrote.
In Fogle's first court appearance May 27, his defense attorney, Hong Thi Tran, asked the judge to prohibit photos during the court hearing, which was open to the public. King County District Court Judge Arthur Chapman sided with reporters, allowing photographs of Fogle and his accomplice, who also has been charged in the case.
King County court records show Fogle most recently landed in state prison following a conviction in a 2004 drugstore burglary.
Fogle was caught sleeping inside a Kent drugstore during an apparent early morning burglary attempt.
Kent officers called to the area by a silent alarm found Fogle prone on the drugstore floor near an open, emptied narcotics cabinet, according to police reports. Several paper bags had been filled with bottles of pills worth about $10,000 wholesale.
Investigators determined that Fogle, then 68, cut a hole in the store's roof and shimmied inside on a rope. Fogle later told detectives he'd fallen asleep due to a narcoleptic condition.
Speaking with detectives, the self-described drugstore cowboy disingenuously described himself as a methadone user who'd lost his prescription and suggested that a cellmate at Airway Heights Corrections Center gave him the idea to break into the Kent drugstore.
"This person told him that he had gotten a bunch of drugs by cutting through the roof and dropping into it," Kent Detective Robert K. Kaufmann told the court in 2004.
"He had gotten into the pharmacy and made a huge haul of drugs and was on the way out when he fell asleep," the detective continued. "His intent was to steal enough to buy a car and get a place to stay."
Described by police as having tattoos and scars too numerous to list, Fogle has a criminal history dating to 1954, according to court records.
Prior to the 3½-year sentence he received for the 2004 attempted burglary, Fogle had been sentenced to a four-year term in a 2001 Snohomish County burglary and a five-year term in a 1992 Pierce County drug conviction.
All told, he has previously been convicted of 14 felonies. His arraignment in the Redmond case is scheduled for June 10 at the King County Courthouse.

Prank offer of free baby lands teen in trouble
CLINTON, Miss. (AP) -- Police in Mississippi say charges are pending against a Jackson area teen for pulling a prank on a friend when he advertised a free baby on Craigslist using the friend's cellphone number on the contact information.
Police Chief Don Byington would not identify the youths involved, but told The Clarion-Ledger (http://on.thec-l.com/zxbTap ) the posting was "a bad practical joke."
Byington says the 18-year-old student at Clinton High took a photo of an unknown baby boy and placed the ad on Craigslist to give away -- not sell -- the baby. He says police interviewed the student Monday.
Prosecutors say the posting of such information can be prosecuted under state law that makes the "posting of messages through electronic media for the purpose of causing injury to another person" a felony.

Libyan sustainable design triumphs at Cityscape Global Awards.
Upcoming master developments, residential communities and leisure facilities with a focus on sustainable design topped their categories at last night's (5 October 2010) Cityscape Awards for Architecture in the Emerging Markets.
Tabanlioglu Architects won the Community Built award for the Tripoli Congress Centre, designed to reflect its surrounds in the city's green zone.
The glass structure is surrounded by a layer of metal mesh, which works in conjunction with the water features to keep heat out and reduce energy consumption.
"There's nothing like this in Libya today so it's leading a new wave of architecture in the country.
Everything was inspired by the surroundings, from the trees to the colours in order that it sits in harmony with the area rather than imposing on it," said designer Melkan Gursel Tabanlioglu.
Henderson Waves, an elevated pedestrian bridge connecting Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park in Singapore won the Tourism, Travel and Transport Built Award, which Judge Peter Clarke, Councillor and Chair of the Planning Committee for Melbourne, Australia, said was "superb".
Zayed University, meanwhile, won the coveted Industry Choice Award, chosen by visitors to Cityscape Global.
Alexander Maul, from the creators BRT Architects said: "We don't build buildings to win awards or please juries, we do it for out investors and key stakeholders.
We try to build unique buildings that have an atmosphere and touch and spirit of the people so they can engage and feel comfortable.
"Another big winner at the event, held at the Grand Hyatt Dubai hotel, was Turkey's Emre Arolat Architects (EAA), which won both the Leisure Built category for Mini City Model Park and the Residential Built category for its Maksimum Houses community project.
Yasemin Senar from EAA, said: "Istanbul is a very special place as it connects Europe and Asia plus we have to be sensitive to the environment.
Our architectural vision is related to the city and how we can work with the surroundings to ensure harmony in our projects.
"The Future project categories were led by the King Abdullah International Gardens in Saudi Arabia, named best Leisure Future project.
The park is built around seven differently themed gardens, but all have the common threads of using solar power and recycled water.
Meanwhile, the architects and planners behind the Khawr Awqad Integrated Sustainable Lifestyle Destination in Salalah, Oman, hope its win in the Environmental category will provide the impetus needed to push the plans through.
The scheme has been designed to transform a wetland area into a sustainable resort destination, with the inclusion of parks, water esplanades, a centre for eco-literacy, agricultural fields, and a botanical garden celebrating the native plants of the region.
"Our project puts great emphasis on the environment.
We always aspire to create projects that respect and protect the land.
It's a tangible project and I hope this award will encourage more sustainable design, particularly in public buildings," said Mussallam Said Al Amry, Chief Investment Officer of the Global Omani Development and Investment Company.
Elsewhere, futuristic designs also stood out.
The Singapore Civic, Cultural and Retail Complex, a scheme incorporating a theatre, gallery outdoor cinema and F&B plaza won the Commercial / Mixed Use Future Award, while the West Kowloon Terminus in Hong Kong was named best Tourism, Travel & Transport Future for its "unique landform and public building design", said the judges.
"Most of the awards recognised sustainability and projects that exemplified exceptional architectural form.
The West Kowloon Terminus is a fine example of that criteria," added Peter Clarke.
Rohan Marwaha, CEO of Cityscape, said: "While the last year has undoubtedly been challenging, commitment to deliver real value and quality products has been unwavering.
These awards highlight the great strides being made throughout the emerging markets in architectural design.

To Cure Africa's Heart-Rending Misery, we Need Working Class/Peasant Counter-Power, Anarchism

"Africa today lies prostrate, bleeding, and embattled on all fronts, a victim of capitalist and, to a great extent, state socialist ambitions. The heart-rending misery of its peoples, the conditions of abject poverty, squalor and disease in which they live, exist side by side with the wanton luxury, rapacity, and corruption of its leaders."

"Africa today lies prostrate, bleeding, and embattled on all fronts, a victim of capitalist and, to a great extent, state socialist ambitions. The heart-rending misery of its peoples, the conditions of abject poverty, squalor and disease in which they live, exist side by side with the wanton luxury, rapacity, and corruption of its leaders."
Sam Mbah and I.E. Igariwey, 1997, African Anarchism: The History of a Movement, Sharp Press: Tucson, Arizona.
Our vast continent, Africa, is the poorest in the world, host to dozens of wars and conflicts, and marked by instability and inequality. The root causes of the instability lie in political corruption and the profiteering system run by local and international elites.
The local ruling classes are interested in making profits and getting wealthy, by any means necessary. The elites are not promoting the development of the working class and peasants (small farmers), but only worsening our conditions. If the choice is between building a road in a poor area or pocketing the money, they will pocket the money.
GREEDY ELITES, WEAK ECONOMIESPolitical and economic domination by small African elites, allied to ruling classes from other regions, is part of the instability, corruption and exploitation. Ordinary people in Africa face a severe lack of necessary goods and service delivery. Often the allocation of goods and services is through corrupt political relationships, not on the basis of need but on the basis of personal and political ties. Corrupt capitalists, corrupt politicians, are part of a world where the gap between the haves and have-nots is very wide.
These weak economies, reliant on poor infrastructure and low-value raw materials, are marked by low wages, mass unemployment and tensions across society, and plunder by elites. Either the state elite controls the means of production and the working class has no say but must just do as it is told, or there is privatisation and private ownership, where the business elite is in control.
And meanwhile, African economies are generally at the bottom of the ladder in the world, a situation caused both by imperialism and by the indigenous elites.
In this world, you face the danger of eat-or-be-eaten. At the bottom the food chain we're under the rule of the minority who make up the oligarchy, a world of rule by the few, where we are locked up and locked out. In this world, we are taught to hate each other, based on language, looks and origins. But our enemy is not each other, it is the classes that rule us from above.
CLASS-CONSCIOUSNESS BUILDINGIn order to have a way forward, Africa requires a long-term programme of class-consciousness building, relevant education and increasing social/ class struggle.
There must be collective unity and solidarity amongst the suffering ordinary people in Africa, the workers, unemployed, the peasants, and the poor. No matter the race or colour or culture or origin, we must unite in the class struggle, so we can achieve a radical breakthrough, not just in one country but in all countries.
This includes removing inequality through the abolition of post- colonial capitalism and the state and the ruling classes, and starting to ease the agony of extreme want. Real, people-centred development is possible only if we break away from both state and capitalism - two major forces of oppression - and create a self-managed, bottom-up society and economy planned from below to meet needs, not greed.
The fundamentally capitalist state system in Africa has created unsuitable socio-political and economic structures. It needs to go. Anarchism is the way forward.
THE FUTUREThe future lies in the direction of freedom, equality and community participation - not hatred. Crisis- ridden capitalism, the state system, selfish individualism and competitiveness are problems to end.
We need peace amongst the masses, and struggle against the ruling classes!

Per mettere fine alla straziante miseria dell'Africa, è necessario il contropotere della classe operia e contadina, è necessario l'anarchismo

* Rookie Wilson sets team record in total yardage
* Giants score more than 50 points for first time in 26 years (Adds details, quotes)

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The Super Bowl champion New York Giants, powered by a dynamic performance by rookie David Wilson, preserved their one-game lead in the tight NFC East race by routing the visiting New Orleans Saints 52-27 on Sunday.
Bolstered by a huge coming-out party by Wilson, who gained 227 yards on four kickoff returns including a 97-yard touchdown dash, the Giants improved to 8-5 while dropping the sloppy Saints to 5-8.
Wilson scored from six yards out and capped a spectacular day with a 52-yard touchdown burst from scrimmage in the fourth quarter that gave him 100 yards rushing, which he celebrated with a back-flip in the end zone.
The total 327 yards amassed by the rookie, who had taken a background role after fumbling in the first game of the season, was a team record for a single game.
The Giants also set a franchise mark for kickoff return yardage and had safety Stevie Brown, who picked off two Drew Brees passes and returned one 70 yards, set a team season record for interception return yardage.
Along with four touchdown passes from quarterback Eli Manning, the Giants took their score past 50 points for the first time since the 1986 season.
"We did a lot of good things today but we've got a lot more to get done," Giants coach Tom Coughlin told reporters.
"We have traditionally done a decent job in certain years when we had no margin for error and our backs were to the wall."
The victory allowed the Giants to maintain their one-game lead in the division, as the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins also posted wins to improve to 7-6.
First-round draft pick Wilson scored New York's first touchdown with his electrifying kickoff return and contributed two other returns of more than 50 yards in the first half.
"To come out and have a breakout game like this is an excellent feeling," said Wilson. "I went out there and my team mates went out there and put up 50 points, which hasn't happened in all long time."
New York quarterback Eli Manning did his share after throwing a first-quarter interception that was run back 73 yards for a touchdown by defensive back Elbert Mack that put New Orleans ahead 7-0.
The Giants led 21-13 at intermission and struck for two touchdowns early in the third quarter to seize a 35-13 lead. New Orleans countered with two quick scores of their own to draw within eight points at 35-27 by the end of the quarter.
Boosted by another long kickoff return by Jerrel Jernigan, New York got another touchdown to restore a cushion and finished with the last 17 points of the game to complete a rout.
Manning threw two interceptions but hit on 22-of-35 passes for 259 yards and connected with Martellus Bennett, Domenik Hixon, Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz for touchdowns.
New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees was 26-of-43 for 354 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
The Saints also fumbled the ball away twice and committed a rash of penalties that set back their attack.
"I'm disappointed, disappointed because we keep giving these things away," said Saints tight end Jimmy Graham. "You can't have that many turnovers and you can't give up field position like that and expect to beat a good team."
