Mayor of Nagasaki, Japan gunned down by Yakuza

Friday, April 30th, 2010

The mayor of the Japanese city of Nagasaki was shot to death in a brazen attack Tuesday by an organized crime chief apparently enraged that the city refused to compensate him after his car was damaged at a public works construction site, news agencies reported.
[...]
Mayor Iccho Ito, 61, was shot twice in the back at point-blank range outside a train station Tuesday evening, Nagasaki police official Rumi Tsujimoto said.

One of the bullets struck the mayor’s heart and he went into cardiac arrest, according to Nagasaki University Hospital spokesman Kenzo Kusano. Kyodo News agency and national broadcaster NHK said Ito died of his wounds early Wednesday.

Tetsuya Shiroo, a senior member of Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan’s largest organized crime syndicate, was wrestled to the ground by officers after the attack and arrested for attempted murder, police said.

He later admitted to shooting Ito with a handgun with the intent to kill, Nagasaki chief investigator Kazuki Umebayashi said at a news conference.
[...]
Shiroo reportedly clashed with Nagasaki city officials in 2003 after his car was damaged when he drove into a hole at a public works site. He tried unsuccessfully to get compensation from the city after his insurance company refused to pay up, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK.

Shiroo also sent a letter to broadcaster TV Asahi to protest recent money scandals linked to Ito, including hidden accounts and public works contracts, Kyodo reported.

Justin Bieber wants to date a 40-year-old

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber says that he has no issues with dating an older woman, just as long as she’s not over 40.

He said, “Anything above 40 is a little too old for me. I just look for a girl who is funny and has nice eyes and a smile.”

He mentioned having a crush on Kim Kardashian previously, so I guess it doesn’t count if they look over 40. He said, “I think she’s cute. And, no, she’s not too old for me.”

Although he does have a crush on Kim, Kim has intentions of hooking up her little sister Kendall with the Baby singer. Kim added, “I actually put up on my website that I think he should date my sister Kendall. I think Justin is adorable, he’s definitely way too young for me, but I’d still love to hook him up with my sister.”

Kendall would probably corrupt him, don’t you think?

Windows XP to be phased out by year's end despite customer demand

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Computer makers have been told they’ll no longer be able to get Windows XP OEM by the end of this year, despite consumer resistance to Vista and its compatibility problems.

By early 2008, Microsoft’s contracts with computer makers will require companies to only sell Vista-loaded machines. “The OEM version of XP Professional goes next January,” said Frank Luburic, senior ThinkPad product manager for Lenovo. “At that point, they’ll have no choice.”

Despite Microsoft’s relentless promotion of Vista, manufacturers are still seeing plenty of demand from customers for systems preloaded with XP, especially in the finicky SOHO market.
