Especially for those who have started to learn japanese, you should know the difference between three different japanese symbols or writing form called:
- Kanji
- Hiragana
- Katakana
About Kanji Symbols: Normally, many Westerners think that kanji symbol is the only writing form we use in japanese. It is true that we use kanji symbols more than hiragana or katakana symbols when writing something in japanese. However, unlike Chinese people who use only Kanji symbols, we mix up all japanese scripts.
About Hiragana symbols: Hiragana symbols are normally used by supporting Kanji symbols' meaning. For example, if you write "I love You" in japanese, you would use the kanji symbol for Love, but the rest of characters are written with Hiragana symbols. Of course, we just use only Hiragana symbols to write a word or phrase in japanese as well.
About Katakana symbol: Finally, Katakana symbol is often used to represent foreign words, or names which have adopted into the japanese writing system. Therefore, if you can read the Katakana symbols, you can normally work out what a word or phrase means in English. Nowadays, the majority of companies write their names both in English and Katakana symbols.
Each japanese symbols are used something like this in Japan.
If you travel to Japan, you would see how each japanese Kanji Symbols, Hiragana and Katakana symbols are used.
For example, japanese magazine normally use 80% of Kanji symbols, and 10% of Hiragana and Katakana symbols.
This picture is a part of a japanese magazine. In this case, they use Kanji symbols and Katakana symbls for the title. But, otherwise, they used all 3 japanese symbols.
Because this page of the japanese magazine is talking something about the name of the company in Unites States which is foreign name, they used the Katakana symbols for its name.

The xbox 360 is promising to be a phenomenal console. But despite all the bells and whistles and an improved game selection, it may still have an achilles heel that keeps it from grabbing new buyers from Playstation.
Not only will the slick xbox 360 design build on the grean and black of the original, you will be able to snap on customizable face plates for your own look. In answer to the dismay over the apparent lack of an included hard drive, it was recently announced at http://www.xbox-games.xbox-360-news.info that attachable hard drives will be available. No harm done.
The xbox 360 will include a much hyped "Ring of Light" and xbox guide button on the xbox controller. This button will " connect you to your games, digital media, and the world of xbox Live ", but I still see the controller as having a potential deal-killer. It's about control.
The xbox 360 controller appears to still hae the same button configuration at the previous incarnations. That setup, tho adequate for many games, doesn't work well with one of the best selling game franchises of all time, the madden football series. Altho the xbox controller's trigger works extremely well for 1st person shooter games, it lacks 2 additional buttons in the trigger areas, which means fewer control options.
For instance, madden football games on the playstation consoles use the 2nd button for additional audibles, and quick decision options during any play. The xbox 360 controller, lacking those two buttons, means any madden player will be limited.
Let's cross our fingers and pray to the powers that be that the xbox 360 controller is as versatile as the Sony counterpart.
