The iPhone has a huge portion of the Japanese market. Just glancing around the train right now I see about 75% iPhones.

I will definitely be using this to split avis. I had been using a program called "explicit" up until now. Is there a readme somewhere? "Trim" and "Extract" seem to do nothing.

Agreed. I've never understood why people insist on running vim outside of a terminal. You can use a mouse with macvim in iterm, but if you're using the mouse you're probably not using vim very efficiently anyway.

On standard Docomo phones? I've been able to browse the internet on a 1000yen AU since 3 years ago. I could also download music. If the link considers 93% of Japanese phones not smart phones, the term "smart phone" should be defined more clearly.

The funniest part is that Nate's response is almost equally bad Japanese.

The jump between JLPT 2 to JLPT 1 was huge. I'm not sure if it's still that way, I heard it's been expanded to 5 levels now. I worked for 18 months in Japan, but if I'm going to work 12 hour days, I would rather be doing it at a startup with a little variety in the work (and stock options).

I start checking my mail and notifications as soon as I wake up around 7:30, but I don't get in to the office until 9::30-10. I usually leave the office at 7pm. Startups can be a time-sink.

That's interesting. I speak JLPT 1 Japanese, and have never had it be useful in finding work. I do far better for myself not working in the Japanese business culture, and hacking away at a tech startup.

He managed to write the entire post without pointing out a single thing he found fault with. Kind of a waste of time.
