R.I.P To The Sony Floppy Disc

Remember floppy discs? They were at their most popular in the mid-90s. Before CDs and the presently popular USB flash drives and online storage, this storage medium was all the rage.

Back in the 90s for the techie-fashionistas it was all about picking the right colors (they didn't just come in dreary black or gray) and colorful stickers. And what fun labelling them! Uh, ok maybe that's going too far.

But the floppy discs were definitely a necessity in school or work computing use back then.

Guess what? Say goodbye to them now (like you haven't for the past dozen years!) because Sony has just recently stopped manufacturing the discs.
Who knew Sony was still making these?!?

We can't imagine looking back to today in the future and laughing at the graphics of the Sony Playstation 3 or at Facebook. But hey, we didn't think we would chuckle at floppy discs or Windows 98 back then either!

Party like it's 1999, dear Sony floppies!

Blood Type Important When You Want To Find A Date In Japan

"What's your blood type" replaces the one-liner "What's your zodiac sign?"  for singles on the prowl in the Japanese dating scene.

Apparently discussing one's blood type is an everyday topic for the Japanese while most people in the world probably don't know what theirs is. Women's magazines have in-depth articles about the different blood types and the accompanying personality description.

For example, individuals with the blood type A are the Virgos of the zodiac: dependable and self-sacrificing but constant worriers.

Blood type AB people are considered logical, with their feet firmly on the ground while being balanced. However if you have your romantic sights set on an AB-er get rather for a high-maintenance partner who can be difficult to get closed.

Artistic blood type B-ers can be selfish yet free in spirit as well.

One of the scientific backings of this phenomenon in Japan was from a study that compared the blood type of the Taiwanese people. The predominant blood type of the Taiwanese who rebelled against Japanese rule was compared to the blood type of a group of peaceful (read, subservient) people.

As with many type-casting this of course has led to prejudice. It can get so bad that some bosses refuse to deal with people of a particular blood type and a few politicians have waved their blood types in public at an attempt to get some additional votes. One in particular lost. Our guess is his blood type wasn't the cup of tea for most Japanese.
