Yakuza 3 reviewed by Yakuza Played, reviewed and fact-checked. With the Yakuza. Several months ago, I introduced you to Jake Adelstein, the fearless-to-a-fault Jewish-American reporter who spent 12 years as a crime beat reporter in Japan and wrote about it in his book Tokyo Vice. In Tokyo Vice, we meet Adelstein's arch-nemesis, a former yakuza boss named Tadamasa Goto; we also learn Adelstein he has a hodge podge of allies in the pervasive Japanese underworld. Turns out he's good enough friends with a few high-ranking gangster bosses that he was able to convince them to conduct an experiment for Boing Boing: to evaluate Yakuza 3, a popular video game about the infamous gangsters created for ordinary citizens. And so it was that Adelstein showed up at a shady real estate office in Tokyo one Thursday afternoon with a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of Duty-Free whiskey to teach these gangsters how to handle a PlayStation controller. — Lisa M: I've never been to Okinawa, but Kabukicho is dead on.

Access Your iDevice Like an IT Ninja with Phone Disk [Review Phone Disk, from Macroplant, is a utility for Mac OS X (and Windows) that runs quietly in the background on your computer until you plug-in an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad using a USB sync cable. Plugging in your favorite iDevice causes Phone Disk to seamlessly mount the iOS file system on that device to your computers file system. Once mounted you can directly access the files on that device using Finder (and Windows explorer) or any other program. You’ll be interested in this application if you’re an IT Ninja looking for another good troubleshooting utility to carry around or you’re simply curious about the data that resides on your favorite iDevice. Phone Disk Preferences. What’s Good? Phone Disk mounted my iPhone 4 and Angry Birds app folder. What’s Bad? Phone Disk gives you an option labeled Change Connection Root that allows you to open a new disk mounting point linked to an iOS app’s folder. Conclusion Rating: Cult of Mac Black Turtleneck rating system: 5: Insanely Great! Related
How Japanese Schoolgirls Started A Mobile Phone Revolution Headline: A Free Customizable Tumblr Theme – Page 1 6:41 pm - Fri, Jan 11, 2013 3 notes It’s been over 2 years since Headline was released, and I’m thankful to the 9,000+ users who have installed it. A big mahalo to all of you (especially you Rolling Stone)! Things sure have changed over that time, yet Headline has remained the same. As a result, some of the documentation and features have become outdated. That being said, I’m thinking about completely rebuilding the theme from scratch. Post your thoughts, comments, feedback, and love letters in the Disqus thread below or fire away at @ckalima on Twitter. 5:03 am - Thu, Apr 14, 2011 7 notes During the last 12 months, we’ve received a number of emails regarding Headline’s search box. As Tumblr continues to grow (explosively), the search indexing issue seems to be growing with it. If you’ve got the zero result blues, we recommend voicing your concerns on Tumblr’s Get Satisfaction page to let them know search is important to you. 7:52 am - Fri, Feb 25, 2011 1 note boneflytravel 7:51 am theangeladee
Mag Theme Untitled Untitled Tumblr Theme Inexplicable Superconductor Fractals Hint at Higher Universal Laws | Wired Science What seemed to be flaws in the structure of a mystery metal may have given physicists a glimpse into as-yet-undiscovered laws of the universe. The qualities of a high-temperature superconductor — a compound in which electrons obey the spooky laws of quantum physics, and flow in perfect synchrony, without friction — appear linked to the fractal arrangements of seemingly random oxygen atoms. Those atoms weren’t thought to matter, especially not in relation to the behavior of individual electrons, which exist at a scale thousands of times smaller. “We don’t know the theory for this,” said physicist Antonio Bianconi of Rome’s Sapienza University. Unlike semiconductors, the metals on which modern electronics rely, superconductors allow electrons to pass through without resistance. Then, in the mid-1980s, physicists Karl Muller and Johannes Bednorz discovered a class of ceramic compounds in which superconductivity was possible at much higher temperatures. That’s a dramatic connection.
