What you wish your Japanese boyfriend/girlfriend would quit doing

Today?s goo Ranking silliness is a look at what guys wish their girlfriend would quit doing and what girls wish their boyfriends would quit.

Demographics

Over the 25th and 26th of November 2011 1,074 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 57.4% of the sample were female, 11.6% in their teens, 14.7% in their twenties, 26.9% in their thirties, 25.0% in their forties, 11.1% in their fifties, and 10.7% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

Wifey tells me that the main thing she wanted me to stop when we were dating was farting?

It?s interesting that it appears that women have more complaints, and complain more about the same things, regarding their boyfriends. Is spitting really that common on dates that it gets to be the fourth most popular issue?

    Oprah Winfrey's guards scuffle with Indian media (omg!)

    NEW DELHI (AP) ? Indian police briefly detained three of Oprah Winfrey's bodyguards after they scuffled with local TV journalists Thursday, a news agency reported.

    The American talk-show host had been traveling with both American and Indian bodyguards while visiting the Hindu pilgrimage town of Mathura, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of Delhi.

    Press Trust of India said police detained three of the guards after local journalists said their video equipment had been damaged in a brawl. No one was reported hurt, and there was no indication that the American bodyguards were involved.

    The three guards were released after apologizing in a letter to the journalists, PTI said.

    It is Winfrey's first trip to India, where she has been filming her new show "Oprah's Next Chapter."

    Earlier this week, she delighted Mumbai locals by wearing a bright orange sari while meeting with Bollywood stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai at a private party.

    She also visited the Taj Mahal on Thursday, and she is due to attend the Jaipur Literature Festival that begins Friday.

    Analyst: At least 48 million iPads will sell in 2012

    Apple

    Will 48 million iPads sell in 2012?

    By Athima Chansanchai

    Hopes are so high for the continued dominance of the iPad that one analyst predicts that at least 48 million iPads will be sold this year, boosted in part by the imminent arrival of the next iteration of the reigning tablet, the iPad 3.

    Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu told AllThingsD, "We believe this significant refresh will likely help drive higher iPad sales and help further differentiate from arguably the only real competitor in the market, Amazon?s Kindle Fire, and not to mention the myriad of Android offerings out there.?We are currently modeling 48 million iPad shipments for calendar 2012."

    And he's saying that's a "conservative" number.?

    According to his credentials on the Sterne Agee website, Wu "has nearly 15 years of experience in the technology industry as an equity research analyst, software developer, and network administrator at firms which include Broadpoint AmTech, Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley, and General Electric." More importantly, his insights seem to yield accurate results. StarMine has ranked him?No. 2 for stock picking and No. 3 for earnings accuracy.?

    With reports that the iPad 3 will?include 4G LTE networking, a high-def screen and a quad-core processor, it's a good bet that it will be a magnet for electronics-obsessed consumers come February or March.?

    The iPad has been the latest of Apple's record-breaking products. When it released its fourth quarter results last October, Apple said that 11.2 million iPads were sold that quarter???a 166 percent increase?from the same quarter a year ago. Business Insider reports that Apple sold an estimated 38 million iPads last year, making 48 million not such a grandiose goal to achieve.

    It will face some heat from the Kindle Fire, which had a big month to end 2011, among the 4 million Kindles sold in December.

    NCAA Basketball: Louisville Lose Rakeem Buckles For The Season

    Louisville's Rakeem Buckles must be the unluckiest guy in college basketball right now. During Louisville's 74-63 loss to the Marquette Golden Eagles, Buckles tore the ACL in his left knee. Originally thought to be a simply hyperextended knee during the game, it was quickly recognized as something far worse after the game was over.

    This is Buckles' second ACL tear in as many years, as he tore his right ACL in February of 2011, only recently getting clearance to play again for Louisville. His season had not been incredibly impressive thus far -- his team role seemed to be 'decent bench spark' more than anything else -- but two ACL tears in two years is still an awful thing to have to go through for anyone, athlete or not.

    He will possibly play a fifth year with Louisville after this tear heals.
