Would the cell phone work here?
Q. Lets face it, Japanese cell phones kick some serious tail, compared to 99% of phones in North America.
Say, for instance, that I were to buy a cell phone in Japan, and then brought it here. I realize that some of the fancy things that they can do with their cell phones over there (paying for food with a built-in mini credit card at 7-11) wouldn't work here. Would the phone work though? If I were to surf the net on it, would it be compatible, or would it glitch up? I was thinking of importing one from my friend there, but before I do, I wanna make sure it will work, and not be a fancy paper weight.
I've heard that there wouldn't be any issues, but I have my doubts.
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada btw.

A. "I have my doubts."
Your doubts are correct, it will not work.
Japan cellular is W-CDMA, not the same as North America and Europe W-CDMA. Some Japanese W-CDMA phones do work with GSM for people travelling outside Japan but the phones are "almost" imposible to unlock. Those phones also normally only include GSM dual band (GSM900/1800) North America is GSM850/1900 so you are correct, a fancy paper weight it is

In your opinion should the state of Israel be recognized by the international community?
Q. my opinion is that the state of Israel should be removed from the UN and furthermore the USA no longer be able to supply weapons and munitions but restricted supplies to the Israeli state. This to help speed along the two state plan for Israel and Palestine as well as have Israel's military and government answer for it's crimes along with Fatah and Hamas.
A. Yes, the following list describes the contributions of Israel to the world. I am unsure if it will fit in this small space allotted here. If not check the web site for the complete list. Also, remember every time Israel is condemned or criticized if it were not for these contributions we would not enjoy the technology available to us. The 100th smallest country, with less than 1/1000th of the worldâs population, can lay claim to the following:
1. The cell phone was first developed at the Motorola plant in Israel.
2. Most of the Windows NT and XP operating systems were developed by Microsoft-Israel.
3. The Pentium MMX Chip technology was designed in Israel at Intel.
4. Both the Pentium-4 microprocessor for desktop computers and the Centrino processor for laptops were entirely designed, developed and produced in Israel.
5. Voice mail technology was developed in Israel. The Israeli company Amdocs is the largest company in the world in this field.
6. The program ICQ, which is the technological basis for AOL Instant Messenger, was developed in 1996 by four young Israelis.
8. Disk on Key â a portable, virtual hard disk â was developed by the Israeli company M-Systems.
9. Israel has the highest number of university degrees per capita in the world.
11. Israel produces more scientific papers per capita than any other nation by a large margin â 109 per 10,000 people â as well as one of the highest per capita rates of patents filed.
12. In proportion to its population, Israel has the largest number of startup companies in the world. In absolute terms, Israel has the largest number of startup companies than any other country in the world, except the US.
13. With more than 3,000 high-tech companies and startups, Israel has the highest concentration of hi-tech companies in the world â apart from Silicon Valley.
14. Outside the United States and Canada, Israel has the largest number of companies listed on NASDAQ.
15. Israel has the highest average living standards in the Middle East. The per capita income in 2000 was over $17,500, exceeding that of the United Kingdom.
16. On a per capita basis, Israel has the largest number of biotech startups.
17. Twenty four percent of Israelâs workforce holds university degrees â ranking third in the industrialized world, after the United States and Holland â and 12 percent hold advanced degrees.
18. Israel has the third highest rate of entrepreneurship â and the highest rate among women and among people over 55 in the world.
19. Relative to its population, Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing nation on earth.
20. Israeli scientists developed the first fully computerized, no-radiation diagnostic instrumentation for breast cancer.
21. An Israeli company developed a computerized system for ensuring proper administration of medications, thus removing human error from medical treatment. Every year in U. S. hospitals 7,000 patients die from treatment mistakes.
22. Israelâs Given Imaging developed the PillCam â the first ingestible video camera, which is so small it fits inside a pill. Used to view the small intestine from the inside, the camera helps doctors diagnose cancer and digestive disorders.
24. Researchers in Israel developed a new device that directly helps the heart pump blood. The new device is synchronized with the heartâs mechanical operations through a sophisticated system of sensors.
25. Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians in the workforce, with 145 per 10,000, as opposed to 85 in the U.S., over 70 in Japan, and less than 60 in Germany.
26. An Israeli company was the first to develop and install a large-scale solar-powered and fully functional electricity generating plant in Southern Californiaâs Mojave Desert.
27.. The first computer anti-virus software package was developed in Israel back in the 1970â²s.
29. Major law enforcement agencies use Israeli technologies to monitor voices and messages on conventional phones, mobile phones and e-mails.
30. A new brain implant has been developed in Israel that can lower the risk of stroke by diverting blood clots away from sensitive areas of the brain.
31. Israeli software company Check Point is the global leader in Virtual Private Network (VPN) and firewall technologies.
32. Israeli company Elta is responsible for the worldâs first civilian aircraft equipped with technology designed to protect airliners from a missile attack..
33. Drip irrigation â the system that is based on using plastic pipes that release small amounts of water next to crops or plants â was developed by the Israeli engineer Simcha Blas in the 1970â²s. The invention caused a revolution in agriculture.
In comparison, how much has Fatah and Hamas contributed to world other than death and destruction?

Fastest-Growing Chinese Exports
Creating high volumes of coke from source products like coal produces heavy smoke, which may prove difficult in Canada due to environment al laws. Less stringent restrictions in China may explain the big jump in coke and semi-coke fuel exports to Canada in 2008.
1.Coke and semi-coke from coal, lignite, peat (270400) ... US$270.5 million, up 520.1% from 2007
2.Printed circuit assemblies (851770) ... $266.1 million, up 81.9% (0.7%)
3.Modems, routers and switches (851762) ... $536.1 million, up 46.5% (1.3%)
4.Cell phones (851712) ... $708.2 million, up 42.6% (1.8%)
5.Video games (950410) ... $1.2 billion, up 41.6%
6.Knitted cotton sweaters, sweatshirts and coats (611020) ... $357.8 million, up 29.9%
7.Computer laptops and notebooks (code 8471.30) ... US$2.2 billion, up 23.7%
8.Plastic and textile cases including golf bags (420292) ... $287.1 million, up 18.7%
9.TV receivers including Internet set-top boxes (852872) ... $426.7 million, up 17.3%
10.Commercial battery chargers, power supplies, controllers (850440) ... $270.8 million, up 15.3%.
While this diverse list of fastest-growing Chinese exports range from high-tech computer software games to cotton clothing, these products are all labor-intensive. Therefore, gains in sales of these exports from China are propelled by lower wage costs of Chinese workers.
