NEC to quit PC market abroad with Asia-Pacific exit
Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:23am EDT

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's NEC Corp will halt production and sales of personal computers in the Asia-Pacific region around July, a spokesman said on Saturday, in a move that would see it pull out completely from the loss-making PC business overseas.

NEC, which has the top PC market share in Japan, last month signaled a withdrawal from the PC business in Europe, Africa and the Middle East amid slumping demand and tough competition.

NEC has warned it would post a net loss of 290 billion yen ($2.96 billion) for the business year ending this month, and is accelerating restructuring efforts, which include pulling out from weak businesses and cutting more than 20,000 jobs worldwide.

Competition with rivals such as Hewlett-Packard Co and Dell Inc has been fierce and NEC sold its retail PC business in Europe in 2006.

NEC sells about one-sixth of its annual global sales of 3 million PCs outside Japan.

Yes, kind of old.........but still a fantastic series.

Friends' cast in the first season, from left to right, Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani, Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe Buffay, Courteney Cox Arquette as Monica Geller, Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green, David Schwimmer as Ross Geller and Matthew Perry as Chandler Bing.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends

The series featured six main cast members throughout its run, with numerous characters recurring throughout the ten seasons. The main cast members were familiar to television viewers before their roles on Friends, but were not considered to be stars.^[1] During the series' ten season run, the actors all achieved household name celebrity status.^[2]

• Jennifer Aniston portrays Rachel Green, a fashion enthusiast and Monica Geller's best friend from high school. Rachel and Ross Geller are involved in an on-off relationship throughout the series. Rachel's first job is a waitress at the coffee house Central Perk, but she later becomes an assistant buyer at Bloomingdale's and a buyer at Ralph Lauren in season five. Aniston had already appeared in several unsuccessful sitcom pilots before being cast in Friends.^[1]

• Courteney Cox Arquette portrays Monica Geller, the hen mother of the group,^[3] known for her obsessive-compulsive and competitive nature.^[4][5] Monica is often ridiculed for having been an extremely overweight child by the others, especially her brother Ross. Monica is a chef who changes jobs often throughout the show, and marries longtime friend Chandler Bing in season seven. Cox had the highest profile career of the main actors when she was initially cast, having appeared in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Family Ties.^[1]

• Lisa Kudrow portrays Phoebe Buffay, an eccentric masseuse and musician.^[6] Phoebe became homeless at the age of 14, and is known for being ditzy and yet street-smart.^[7] Kudrow previously played Ursula Buffay on Mad About You, and reprised the dual role of twin sister Ursula as a recurring character during several episodes of Friends.^[1] Before her role on Friends, Kudrow was an office manager and researcher for her father, a headache specialist.^[8]

• Matt LeBlanc portrays Joey Tribbiani, a struggling actor and food lover who becomes famous for his role on Days of our Lives as Dr. Drake Ramoray. Joey is a womanizer with many girlfriends throughout the series, and develops a crush on his friend Rachel in season eight. Before his role on Friends, LeBlanc appeared as a minor character in the sitcom Married... with Children, and as a main character in its spin-offs, Top of the Heap and Vinnie & Bobby.^[9]

• Matthew Perry portrays Chandler Bing, an executive in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration for a large multi-national corporation. Chandler quits his job and becomes a junior copywriter at an advertising agency. Chandler is known for his sarcastic sense of humor,^[10] and marries longtime friend Monica. Like Aniston, Perry had already appeared in several unsuccessful sitcom pilots before being cast.^[11]

• David Schwimmer portrays Ross Geller, a paleontologist working at a museum of Prehistoric History, and later a professor of paleontology at New York University. Ross has three failed marriages during the series, and is involved in an on-off relationship with Rachel. Before being cast in Friends, Schwimmer played minor characters in The Wonder Years and NYPD Blue.^[1]

Wrong Message

My previous post had given people some wrong message.

I called you and you did not answer or return call.

This is for you.

I don't know where you are getting at.
Joining my bro's for a drink and sing session, is just a drink and sing session.
And people of different trade or choice of lifestyle does not make them a lesser person.
Oh BTW, TLC i was hoping for is yours.

I understand your work is not easy.
I try to understand and ask you and talk about it with you, hoping that getting it off your chest will makes you feel better.

Did it come across you that I have my own set of problems.
I am not robot. But i am surviving alone, with self motivation and trying to be positive.

Did you ever ask about me?

I keep myself busy with books, dramas, soccer, gaming, work, coffee with friends, etc etc.
It keep me going for awhile.

I know you are not the typical type. So i try not to begrudge you of it.

But I am really disappointed recently.

Instead of telling me to take care or wish me a safe journey or enjoy.
You are unhappy that i cant bring you along.
when i returned and sms you that i am back. your reply was a cool " your car in my carpark "

Thanks

Maybe this song is more for me.

Toyota IST 2008 Info ( SCION XD )

Tokyo — TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announced today the nationwide launch in Japan of the completely redesigned "ist" compact hatchback through "Netz" dealers.

The first-generation ist, launched in May 2002, was praised for its quality and sophistication, setting new standards within the compact vehicle segment.

The second generation ist unveiled today, which has "New Style, New Position" as its theme, is designed to appeal to second-generation baby boomers who attach importance to the spirit of innovation and individuality. Not only is it a crossover hatchback developed with dynamic driving and easy operation in mind, it also has a new design that combines a compact 1.8-liter hatchback with an SUV, achieving strength and dynamism.

At less than 4 meters long by 1.7 meters wide, with 16-inch wheels and large tires, the new ist forms a silhouette that evokes a sense of stability and steadiness. Along with a strikingly designed and poised exterior, the vehicle features a unique interior that enhances the driver's pleasure.

The range of engines available has been upgraded from the 1.3-liter or 1.5-liter engine offered with the first-generation ist to a choice of either 1.5-liter or 1.8-liter engine, ensuring dynamic performance with power to spare. All models are equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side and curtain shield airbags as well as a newly developed Active Headrest, achieving one of the best safety performances in the ist's class*. In addition, the ist achieves a level of fuel efficiency that exceeds Japanese government targets.

Vehicle Outline

Individualistic and Prominent Design
Development of the new ist was based on the Toyota brand design philosophy "Vibrant Clarity". The vehicle's unique crossover silhouette was formed by combining a body widened to 1.7 meters with a compact length that is less than 4 meters, evoking the strength and vitality of an SUV. The newly designed interior also enhances the pleasure of both riding in and driving the ist.
Exterior

The front features a wider track compared with the first-generation ist, creating a sense of stability and power.
The side emphasizes the individuality of the compact body with 16-inch wheels and sculpted body lines.
The rear creates a unique sense of presence with overhanging fenders and a powerful, broad look.
A total of eight body colors, including two new colors, are available for individualized styling.
Door mirrors with turning signals for enhanced visibility and a sporty muffler cutter are standard on all vehicles in the series.
Interior

The seemingly floating center console features smooth curves that flow beautifully like water over a protruding rock.
The concentric Optitron meters (with multi-information display) with speedometer and tachometer needles centered on concentric circles, creates an advanced radar-like feel.

Relaxing Interior Space
Ample room is provided for the rear seats, creating a relaxing interior space. The highly efficient package allows the space between the front and rear seats to be expanded by 30mm, while a change in the front seat slide rail structure creates 30mm more lateral leg room for the rear seats.
There is ample storage space in the vehicle and seats that can be arranged according to a particular need, enhancing functionality. Two-wheel-drive models feature rear seats with backrests that fold in a 60/40 split and a tilt-down mechanism, as well as seat sliding and reclining mechanisms, while four-wheel-drive models have double-folding rear seats with a seat reclining mechanism and backrests that fold in a 60/40 split.
The fully automatic air conditioning system features enhanced air cooling and heating performance, while consuming less energy and operating more quietly. In addition, a pollen removal mode filters out pollen, dust and other impurities from the air.
The vehicle also adopts Plasmacluster Ions®*, an air-cleaning technology, which fills the cabin with refreshing air consisting of an optimal ratio of positive and negative ions.
The Smart Entry & Start System uses a key that does not need to be removed from the driver's pocket to lock and unlock the doors, as well as a push button for starting the engine.
* "Plasmacluster Ions" is a registered trademark of Sharp Corporation.

Advanced Driving Performance
The newly adopted 1.8-liter engine employs Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) that optimizes both intake and exhaust valve timing to further enhance fuel efficiency for superior environmental performance and acceleration responsiveness.
The 1.5-liter engine is combined with a Super CVT-i (Super Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent) for smooth acceleration and dynamic driving as well as excellent fuel efficiency and environmental performance.
The 16-inch wheels and large tires feature impressive styling and responsive handling.
Four-wheel-drive models adopt an active torque control system that contributes to driving stability regardless of road conditions.

Class Leading Safety Performance and Advanced Environmental Performance
The front-seat structures are based on the WIL (Whiplash Injury Lessening) concept and come with stronger seat frames and greater backrest give. They were designed based on analyses using THUMS (Total Human Model for Safety), incorporating an Active Headrest, which shifts to an appropriate position in order to reduce the risk of whiplash injury in a collision.
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side and curtain shield airbags, are standard on all vehicles in the series.

The GOA (Global Outstanding Assessment) construction has been further enhanced to create an advanced collision-safety body structure. During collision tests under stricter-than-normal standards, the speed was set at 55km/h, and the vehicle was subjected to omni-directional, vehicle-to-vehicle collisions with a vehicle up to the 2-ton range. Through the use of a body that effectively absorbs collision impact by diffusing it throughout its structure, Toyota satisfied independent targets for survival space and occupant injury.
The body structure has been developed to further reduce pedestrian head injuries in an effort to achieve one of the highest levels of injury prevention in its class.
The 1.5-liter front-wheel-drive models boast a fuel efficiency of 18.0km/l in the 10-15 test cycle outlined by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) with CO2 emissions under the test cycle just 129g/km, achieving fuel efficiency that exceeds by 10% the level called for by the Japanese 2010 standards*. Both NOx (nitrogen oxides) and NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbons) have also been reduced, meaning all models achieve emissions levels 75% lower than the 2005 standards under MLIT's Approval System for Low-emission Vehicles.

Eco-VAS (Eco-Vehicle Assessment System) — Toyota's original comprehensive environmental impact assessment system — was implemented to efficiently achieve overall reduction of environmental impact throughout the vehicle's entire lifecycle. Environmental targets were set in the initial vehicle development stage and a life cycle assessment was carried out to achieve a reduction of air contaminants and CO2, etc., throughout all stages of the vehicle's life from production and use to disposal.
A review of the materials, processing methods and adhesives used for interior parts resulted in a reduction in the amount of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) used, thereby also reducing the unpleasant odors emitted from such compounds and achieving the Japanese automobile industry's voluntary goals.
An Eco Driving Indicator lights up when the vehicle is being efficiently operated to raise the driver's awareness of environmentally considerate driving and contribute to higher fuel efficiency.

Happiness

"Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way.
So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one."

Keep It Simple

A Simple Man - Sang By Lobo

Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Who goes around & tucks in the trains?
What makes a teddy bear like to sleep?
Why do we all make promises that we can't keep?

Where do puppy dogs go when their sad?
And what do elephants say when their mad?
Who do you tell if you don't have a friend?
Why do we open our mouths and stick our foot in?

These are the things that bother me,
Not a lot of things across some sea,
I don't even have a master plan,
I guess that I am just a simple man.

Where do robins sleep on the road?
And how can a little ant carry that load?
Why write words that we have to erase?
Why does everyone have more than one face?

A Show I Can't Forget

1. 請與我耐心地交往。
2. 請相信我。如果你相信我，我就變得幸福。
3. 我也有心靈。請別忘記。
4. 如果我不聽你的話，那時候我必定有理由。
5. 請多一點對我說話。我不會說人的言詞,可是我理解你說什麼。
6. 請別打我。請你想起來,如果我認真得與你比力氣，我比你強。
7. 我老了之後,我們是永遠的好朋友吧?
8. 你每天上學,有很多朋友。可是我只有你。
9. 我能生活僅僅十年左右,所以請你多一點與我在一起。
10. 我死的時候，請你在我身旁。請記住,我一直愛你...
