You know if you go to Japan, beneath the mystique is a fairly normal country with fairly normal people going about fairly normal day to day lives.

Never heard of him, but I think I need to know about him. I find this book he wrote to be very enticing: > Computing: A Human Activity Sounds like a forerunner to Agile programming.

I have a 1GB/month mobile plan, which is actually medium-large in Australia. I would burn through that pretty quick if I was streaming mp3s all day. Also we are a large, sparse country with poor (or zero) mobile reception outside citie

Yes - always sync playlists, not folders of songs. Everything just seems to work better that way. I use Sony's Media Go on windows to load up my library, then create playlists from albums I want to play, then sync the playlist to the d

I still use WinAmp on Windows, although I have switched to using Sony Media Go to sync music to my Z1 compact. And while I used to use Winamp on my phone, Sony's Walkman music app blows away any other android music player I have come a
