If the property is abandoned, does "others" really exist?

Tons of classic Renaissance paintings were painted on walls. The only difference between "defacement" and "embellishment" is only a matter of preference. And that can be public opinion, owner's opinion or the painter's opinion.

We divide and claim ownership to our properties way too exhaustively particular in the modern capitalist world.

Notice why the map has Korea at the center? The ad actually reads "Korean Cruises Corporation" at the top. Therefore, it's a Korean advertisement targeted at Japanese.

Not everything fancy has to come from Japan.

I thought they did that in Japanese game shows every day.

Stephen King. Here. Amazing.

If the Internet kills paper, I foresee that brain-machine interface will kill written language, the need to read or write anything at all.

Also, that Chinese and Hebrew came out of Adam and Eve, while Greeks and Italians came out of nowhere in the dark clouds is hilarious.

This shows the Euro-centric views of the 1800s during the late Colonial age. The history of East Asia is largely ignored. Look, Japan and Korea doesn't even exist!

@flux: Then one of those cultures will bloom to the point that it will engulf other groups. If it's not Han Chinese, it will just be another ethnic group that rules the country.

And just in case you didn't know, that already happened in China 300 hundred years ago. The ruling ethnic group was Manchurian, not Han. And then there were Mongols a longer time ago. And then Han Chinese were a combination of many groups and separate kingdoms even longer time ago.

I know, it's hard not to feel guilty about how American culture pretty much consumed the whole world by now.

Most of the 'deep web' are porn sites, where you need to pay to get in. Of course it's 500x more and developing the fastest!

Like people with major depression cannot even have few moments of happiness? Insurance wants you to sad all the time.

Any discussions involving the bastardization of Mac will include the following:
A) Attack anyone who dared to include such article. "This is the worst thing I've read in this site."
B) Defame the author of the original article. "The person who wrote the article is a Windows fanboy."
C) Undermine enemies' choice. "Vista sucks."

It is not just Apple. The product cult phenomenon appears in any genres that has an expensive variation that does the exact same thing, for example:

- Music: People who insist on playing their eclectic songs on your stereo when they come visit.

- Cars: Mercedes Benz, BMW drivers. They usually say nothing when they encounter a Rolls Royce.

- Audio equipment: Those who have gigantic speakers, but only knows to play the worst pop or hiphop music.

- Art: Just go inside a snobbish rich man's house showing their million-dollar painting. Thankfully, modern art is here to dissolve this whole complex, since modern art can be 'done' by 3-year-olds.

Most of my people I know who use a Mac from their parents are not snobs. They usually don't care, and are not aware of the cult. Their desktops are usually filled with icons, and the only tool they use is Safari. The computers are usually filled with dents and scratches that will make a Mac-lover cry.

Those who buy a Mac themselves are snobs. Why? They need to prove themselves for all the losses of money for purchasing from Apple. They need reasons to justify such cost. One way to justify is to tell others that alternatives suck, i.e. snobs.

It is easy to tell who the snobs are. Usually, their computers are pristine, their desktop screens are super tidy, and you will also spot the white Apple stickers on other objects in their homes.

I wonder how tall the world's tallest woman is!!

Sci Fi idea: Homo Sapiens had cultivated the whole solar system, but had yet to re-create an environment suitable for pregnancy. So Earth turns into a gigantic hospital (as well as sex club), when people live in the rest of the Solar System.... but evil is at work to destroy humanity by blowing up the only place where birth comes from!!

You've seen Michel Gondry's "Fell in Love with a Girl" for the White Stripes, right? It's better choreographed.
