Apple News!!!

Apple Started to Recycle iPod for Environment

According to the AP, Apple Computer in the US announced that they started to collect needless iPod for recycle free at the 100 Apple Store in the US. It is an act as a part of ecology movement because they were critiseized for passive attitude for protention of nature. They just threw away the needless iPod as a garbage. In this act, customers who go to recyle are able to buy a new iPod getting a 10% discount. In Japan, Europe, Taiwan and Korea, they don't charge for the recycling for the customer, but in the US, it has been big problem because iPod brought a lot of rubbish. Therefore, people should think about the aftercare for innovating useful technology.


BMW, Start to Sell the New Connector for iPod

According to BMW Japan, they announced that they started to sell the new exclusive connector
for iPod which is corresponding to all BMW cars. Last March, they set the connector for the BMW X3, Z4, Series 3 and Mini. However, this time it fits for BMW Series 1, 5, 6,7 and the new BMW Series 3. Therefore, if you buy the BMW, you can have nice music in the car stereo using iPod, iPod nano, iPod photo and iPod mini.

Net Neutrality

It is a new rule of the Internet that the United States really worried about. The telecommunication policy thinks that the Internet service providers which are like Google and Yahoo favor their own Web Sites or other applications. This rule is trying to keep them fair. They limit the access to each sites and prevent the charging of phone conpanies. Well, I don't really know what it means. However, if the our access of the Internet is limitted, what will happen? It means that the investimate of the Internet will be limitted because the the definition of the Net Neutrality is vague. The investimate of it should be used for the high speeded Internet for the future. However, if it is not be able to be real, they won't get money, so there is a risk that the whole Internet service will be much slower. I have no idea what is the good point of this controversial argument today.

The Best Movie Site <http://movies.go.com/>

I think it is the best web site for the movie. You can search any movies that is not in Japan yet, and you can see the Box-Office, which is the lanking of the movie. You might want to check whether you want to see it at the theater, if so, you can check the preview of the movie. furthermore, you can read the News about the movie star including gossip! There are many movies that are NOT shown at the theater in Japan. However, they might be DVD, so if you want to see it, you can check it HERE!!! Then run to the shop!

Computer Gift for Someone Special

I don't know if it is computer or not... CELL PHONE!!! I think cell phone became like computer these days because one type from Willcom is almost like a computer. Well, so I think I can include it as a computer, can't I ???
I would buy a cell phone to my teacher from high school because whenever I want to contact him, I can't get him, and I can't talk to him right away. He was a teacher who taught me in tennis club at high school. When I was high school student, I had tennis meet a lot, and I had to go to many places in Kanagawa prefecture where I live. Sometimes I needed to call him when I was in trouble or announce how I did on the match. However, it never happened. I often call his home, but usually I can't get him. If he had a cell phone, it will be much easy to talk to him. Also, he transferred from my high school to another school last April, and I sometimes need his help for tennis team. By the way, I am a coach for tennis team now instead of him. It will be easier if he can send me an e-mail or make phone call. That's why I want to buy a cell phone for him. Actually, his birthday is coming up, so I might buy one for him... Just kidding!
