To say that it has been anything less than breathtaking would be a lie. The Ducati 848 is the first Ducati I have ever riden, and the first V-Twin (L Shaped) motor I have ever ran. The styling on the Italian motorcycle is brilliant, looking like a Ferrari on two wheels. It was a bright pearl white with red 848 and grey Ducati emblems marked in strategic places. The motor gives you a little shake when you crack open the throttle and what follows is a torque-y and smooth burst of power. The bike is stiff. It feels like a race bike, even more than related Japanese bikes feel. This bike is amazing and exciting.
Thanks to my friend for letting me borrow his fresh Duc. I can see why people fall in love with the brand and their bikes.

From Wikipedia: In May 2006, Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima announced that a film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid was in development. The film was purported to be in English, said to be released some time in 2009. Kojima also announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo later that month that he had negotiated a contract with a party in Hollywood to adapt the video game into a film. Kojima also considered Alaska as the site of the film production, due to the game's setting in the state.
David Hayter, the English voice actor for Solid Snake, had submitted his take for the movie but executives have passed on his script.[16] He has previously written the screenplay to X-Men and co-written X2 and The Scorpion King. There has since been a petition web site started in the hopes of getting David Hayter involved with the project.
Producer Michael DeLuca has expressed interest in having Equilibrium director Kurt Wimmer write the script for the movie. Later on Kurt Wimmer was opted to direct the movie adaptation.[17] Konami's Aki Saito had commented that There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson was interested,[18] but DeLuca dismissed the claim.
From Kotaku: So Microsoft is doing pretty good in Japan. Not great, but good. Good enough to beat the PS3 last month. This is the Xbox 360 display at Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara. The banner in the front is an advertisement for an entertainment festival in Akihabara — it's a red herring, disregard. Back in August, the Xbox 360 sold out in this very store. If you've been to Akihabara, you know that this is a very large retailer. Lots of shoppers! So for Microsoft to sell out right here is a good sign, and it's great for the Xbox 360's reputation in Japan. This demo set-up is not. Well, no, the set-up is fine, it's the upkeep. But just as Microsoft starts to gain ground in Japan, an old friend rears its ugly head...
Hello, you. Out of all the demo kiosk consoles Microsoft needs working in Japan... Doubt this will catastrophically affect Xbox 360 sales in Japan. Microsoft will most likely sell lots of consoles this holiday season. (So will will Nintendo and Sony. Everyone wins!)
