Damn those little emperors. HansTWN says that they won't work hard like their parents.* And you apparently fear they will soon be addicted by Apple's "intense advertising and clever software."

Considering that all countries will always have problems, I think the little emperor and consumerism problems are the kinds of problems we want to have.

Japan is a western mafia nation?

The Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands controversy just doesn't fit your US/UK-the-exploiters model. The attempt to turn even the unlikeliest news story into another piece of evidence for your POV does not help your argument.

Given current device choices, are you against mobile reading? And what kind of computer are you using right now?
