Crescent Earth from the Departing Rosetta Spacecraft

Goodbye Earth. Early last month, ESA's interplanetary Rosetta spacecraft zoomed past the Earth on its way back across the Solar System. Pictured above, Earth showed a bright crescent phase featuring the South Pole to the passing rocket ship. Launched from Earth in 2004, Rosetta used the gravity of the Earth to help propel it out past Mars and toward a 2014 rendezvous with Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Last year, the robot spacecraft passed asteroid 2867 Steins, and next year it is scheduled to pass enigmatic asteroid 21 Lutetia. If all goes well, Rosetta will release a probe that will land on the 15-km diameter comet in 2014.

Quentin Tarantino for Phones, Dogs, and Dog Phones

The Japanese are so far ahead of us with technology. Our speakerphone attachments are decades from also being dogs.

For those with some questions, YouTube commenter's have translated this:

15-second:
wife says: "are you really going to go to Tosa?"
husband; dog says: "Yes."
daughter Aya UETO says: "uncle Tara, too?"
Tara says: "I'm Tara-chan."
daughter says: "It's call."
wife says: "It's your wife, Tara."
Tara's wife says: "GO HOME RIGHT NOW!"
Tara says: "I'm so sorry."
husband; dog says: "Are you ok?"

30-second:
Tara says: "I'm Tarantino. xxxxxx"
wife says: "calm down."
Tara says: "all right."
daughter says: "It's call."
Tara's wife says: "Is Tara there?"
wife says: "It's your wife, Tara."
Tara says: "oh."
Tara's wife says: "Is that you, Tara?"
Tara says: "I'm Tara-chan."
Tara's wife says: "GO HOME RIGHT NOW!"
Tara says: "I'm so sorry."
husband; dog says: "Is he ok?"

I'll accept that Tarantino is for some reason a samurai in this household and being berated by his wife about it, but the dog is the family patriarch? OF COURSE, we are in Japan.
