Akihabara News, Now In English!
One of my very favorite 'Net blogs is Akihabara News -- Daimaou and company have been working very hard the last few years in bringing us the latest and greatest news from all over Japan, with a heavy emphasis on mobile and lifestyle devices. My biggest nit was that the site was predominantly French -- there were some English translations, but they were sporadic, and I never learned French in high school.
Anyway, they've now launched an all-English site, complete with an all-English feed. If you've been tempted to check out the site but held off because of the language barrier, you don't have to any more.  And if you've never heard of the site but are interested in gadgets, I strongly suggest you check it out (as long as you're prepared to cry a little over what we don't get here.  )

Amen,
I've done a few news posts from them for DMT and it was always a few extra steps over a regular post to do one from them because you could not copy/paste a quote from the page since the english translation was just a pop-up bubble. I started just copying directly out of the html to get around this, but still an extra step.
