In Japan, 'taking responsibility' is always someone else's problem.

Talking of manners and breasts, women complain that "Men look at their breasts and never listen to them..." Sony have now come out with a breast implant combined with an mp3 player. So men will finally be able to listen to them...

Japan should get an organisation like this:
http://www.which.co.uk/
It has done more for consumer protection than any one else.
Oh, and for the Japanese version, make sure that the consumers organization is not endorsing a product because they were paid to endorse them.

Well it's good to see that someone has finally pulled their finger out and making a real effort at improving the quality of food on sale in our shops. Any news on the availability of burgers with the fish-hook dressing?

Women like movies where one person dies very slowly.
Men like movies where lots of people die very quickly.

2,625 yen
Wow, that's some mark-up! They're advertised for $10 - about 1000yen on the vexrobotics website. Why the disparity?

It was however a British company (Lxxxxx) that did the management, programming, infrastructure and actually got the damned thing working.
In Japan, the bottom line has become SO important that corporations milk product lines for as long as they can, effectively stifling innovation - because a new product would prevent them milking the old product line to death. Ya jus' gotta maximize that profit.
One of my friends - A Japanese researcher, was researching 5G - Signal tunneling. He became so disillusioned with DoCoMo (He agreed when I said YRP stands for "Yokosuka Research Prison") that he disappeared off to a research at a university in Finland - where he's appreciated!
This country has plenty of innovators, they're just not allowed to express themselves.
... I rest my case...
