- When Consumers Cut Back – An Object Lesson From Japan – NYTimes.com – The economic malaise that plagued Japan from the 1990s until the early 2000s brought stunted wages and depressed stock prices, turning free-spending consumers into misers and making them dead weight on Japan’s economy.
Today, years after the recovery, even well-off Japanese households use old bath water to do laundry, a popular way to save on utility bills. Sales of whiskey, the favorite drink among moneyed Tokyoites in the booming ’80s, have fallen to a fifth of their peak. And the nation is losing interest in cars; sales have fallen by half since 1990.
- EU denies Intel an oral hearing in ongoing antitrust case – Ars Technica – The court sided entirely with DG-COMP and dismissed Intel's argument on January 28; Intel's formal response to the EU was sent on February 5. The EU's investigatory process is much less transparent than the US model, as a result we do not know the contents of the original SSO nor do we have information on how Intel responded. One point of interest, however, is that the DG-COMP has denied Intel an oral hearing. Normally Intel would have the right to such a hearing; DG-COMP may be censuring the company for taking seven months to respond to an original two-week deadline.

- Safari 4 UI breakdown – Using it casually, I found there’s also some other, more subtle changes and additions that made me really enjoy giving this beta a spin, and perhaps will sway me into using Safari a lot more (provided I can find a working Adblock extension).
Safari is representative of a ‘smooth’ browsing experience; it starts up quickly, and presents you a very Apple-like intro movie (yes, an intro movie, with a fancy animated Safari icon, and I’ve heard that it seems the intro is largely composed using images and CSS. Very neat).
- NASA Baffled by Failure of Straw Shuttle | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source – Toshikima does not believe such a small imperfection could have caused the massive explosion.

- No longer a gray area: Our hair bleaches itself as we grow older | Science Blog – Wash away your gray? Maybe. A team of European scientists have finally solved a mystery that has perplexed humans throughout the ages: why we turn gray. Despite the notion that gray hair is a sign of wisdom, these researchers show in a research report published online in The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org) that wisdom has nothing to do with it. Going gray is caused by a massive build up of hydrogen peroxide due to wear and tear of our hair follicles. The peroxide winds up blocking the normal synthesis of melanin, our hair's natural pigment.
