My wonted systematicness must have helped me a lot.

The snafu of the sharp fall of Facebook's stock price may have revealed there's a better biz model for SNS.

What is signified by the grim grip of Triad scenes in many Hong Kong movies?

Will there be no further opportunities for Sony?

"What a familiar name Bear Sterns once had been. What will I feel about the familiar name "Morgan Stanley" in the future?" I thought.

The fates of financial firms seem to be intrinsically fickle.

The society is apt to be the best dojo (i.e. "道場" in Japanese), but only if you have got a doshin (i.e. "道心" in Japanese), so to speak.

As for the meaning of "doshin", see page 109 of the PDF file at https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:4s6_vIx9H_cJ:nirc.nanzan-u.ac.jp/publications/jjrs/pdf/246.pdf+&hl=en&gl=ca&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESh98hOoVdZLbMcm1ZKzRK6HI5nOr4HXZP0L0zm-6hO0Do8RbzGbZupIIqWo_PLv8Xr8aRKMqVMASx27cBE9ohS96UMf39wavFJgqWvFB_JWZU_hEfaULDquHRQqY23uLzN_9F9B&sig=AHIEtbSLrjP6luGSt3fhFL39ud5gNOr1sA&pli=1.

I always wanna pare the number of emails received from websites such as Twitter and LinkedIn.

The future of RIM is grim.

See BlackBerry sinks to zero sales in 'a meaningful number' of stores.

It's been said that Facebook is considering to build up its own search engine.

We're watching a nascent public company, however reluctantly it went public though, at work with enormous financial resources.

My wonted choice of computer brand name used to be HP.

Our toddler daughter has got some minor skin problem at the place close to her wrists, on both of her arms.

We've been applying some excellent medicinal cream to those problematic areas.

It seems among the grocery stores in Montreal, IGA offers the nearly freshest and sweetest corn.

貌似儒家的态度是“不知生，焉知死”，而佛教的态度是 不知死，焉知生，描述种种地狱的种种惨状。

I suspect that since the 21st century, for any, or at least almost any, young generation in North America and East Asia, the future always looks grim.

Maybe it's ultimately because the power within the society does not belong to them but always belongs to the middle-aged population, relatively?

Without exception, the 20 somethings in Canada and China feel quite blue.

What a scene.

Today I passed by the Holiday Inn at the China Town. Almost all over its wall, are small colorful posts reading "CSN lock-outs" and "Scabs".
