Japan's tech industry has failed to adapt its business models to changing times and tastes. The Sony example the article uses sounds a lot like my experience with Panasonic: excellent camera, why bother with a user-friendly interface or software (mind you, this is not the case with Nikon).
Who are these misguided people in the letter writer's life? Carolyn brings words of wisdom:
You are the mother and primary influence on two children— girls, no less. Do you want them to tend to their clothes and bodies and dating mechanics, then consign the rest to hope? The palpably desperate hope that men will save them from being alone? Or, do you want them to tend to their minds, character, interests, senses of self, and physical and emotional hygiene, and to feel empowered to make good choices from there?
California residents, are you undecided about Preposition 37?
Facebook is good for something: letting companies know when they've made an inane business decision. Because the people who thought that selling peeled, shrink-wrapped bananas was a good idea are not going to figure it out for themselves.

Hiya,
I just wanted to apologize for the lack of comments lately. I've been following your blog, including the implosion with your mom, and I think you're absolutely right to have put some distance there. Like many of your IRL friends, I'm surprised that you were able to put up with it so long.
Also, I want you to know how much I appreciate your roundups.
As for Prop 37, I'm planning to vote yes. But the opposition has been running a lot of misleading and vague ads out here, and they're well-funded, so we'll see if it passes.
