“When Facebook launched, social networking was not mainstream. Now, with popular competition like Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn, along with dozens of niche networks and MySpace lurking on the horizon, users have other choices. If Facebook was free forever, the resulting concerns about data and privacy begs the questions – would users really stay?”
I’m from Japan.
I don’t understand what the last sentence in the text above means, among others,
“beg the questions” and ” would user really stay?”.
Could anyone kindly paraphrase or clarify them?
I’ll appreciate your help.

does the ps3 rule in japan ? are backup managers popular ?
if so which One’s.
are the japanese consumers happy that sony will get screwed over in the near future ?

otherwise, is there some other popular console we don’t know of in the west ?
last question =) what’s the gaming scene in japan like ? projections for the future ?

I would like to sell a few different products filling a specific niche – however, they would be related to Nintendo trademarked products.
Do I need to become licensed to sell nintendo type product?
If so, how do I do that?
Seeing as how I’m based out of Canada, and they are based out of Japan, would I be liable if I went ahead and did it anyways? I’m almost positive they can reach you anywhere, but figured I would ask anyways.

A group of parents from my son’s school is trying to initiate a campaign to raise fund for people in need in Japan after the devastating Earthquake and the Tsunami on March 11. We decided to collect money and send it to a small fishing town that we have a personal connection with. We are not affiliated with the school, in fact, the school PTA could not help us collect the money since the money collected by PTA has to be used for the school. We don’t have any entity or non-profit status. We are just moms. We are not planning to donate the money to an organization at this time.
Can anyone help us the best way to collect money from individual and local businesses? Would they write a check to an individual?
