When I was a junior high school student, which is 15 years back, we had a dance class at school. We had to choose a song, our team chosed “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson.
i can’t remember why we chose this, but we listen to this song over and over to practice dancing. It’s still stuck in my brain.
When I heard the news first time, it reminds me the old days.
Sometimes people call Japan as “Galapagos”, because the technology in Japan is away ahead BUT very different from the rest of the world, especially mobile technology.
Since I moved out Japan, I have found some more things which is not about technology but make me think Japan is really “Galabagos”.
As a company we need receipt. when we buy things in Japan, not many companies can issue receipt in English, or they can’t send the receipt to overseas. Even GMO, which is one of the biggest hosting company in the world, they can’t issue any document in English and send to overseas.
What is the international company they mean? Ok, International doesn’t mean “English speaking”, but… hm…
Finally we found a shop where can issue receipt in English, but then… they reply to us like below

About your receipt, we can not issue the receipt because the company name and address are too long.
The first thing I did was downloading TED.com talks. I found myself very hard to keep watching or listening to the videos on computer, because on computer I always go to search something, do something behind eand can’t really listen to the talk.
I listen to the TED.com talk with iPhone while i’m having massage, walking home or on the bed where I don’t have computer.
Here are some talks I listened to in last few days at massage place or so.
I’m just impressed that everybody talk very clearly and so interesting.
I knew it’d be happened. Sometimes my brain loose control when it gets excited to do something new. What I have done is - upgraded firmware to 3.0 on my toy.
I knew it would be locked, but I read some people in Thailand were upgrading, so maybe… maybe fine, then couldn’t stop myself clicking it. I should have read Dev-team blog more carefully before I click it
Then I searched if there were any way to help my toy. However, once it’s upgraded to 3.0, the only thing I can do is waiting for ultrasn0w coming out. Continue reading »
Little trick I use for reading blogs - google reader’s translation feature. Since I went to PP few weeks ago, I started getting interested in Cambodia and added some blogs written by people in Cambodia. Sometimes they write in English, sometimes in Khmer.
My little trick didn’t work for Khmer :( It seems like there are no google translationg for Khmer yet?

(Mobile version of R25 has not been closed yet but may give you an error page. It seems to limit visitors by browser user agent and/or IP address, which is common to Japanese mobile sites. The PC site is here [J].)
Their PR answered to ITMedia [J] that this is because more advertisers want PC ads than mobile sites.
R25 started as a free weekly magazine in greater Tokyo for young train commuters since July 2004 and distributed 550,000 copies every week [J]. They also have a website and both the PC and the cellphone sites were renewed last year.
According to them, the mobile version of R25 is getting 130 million page views per month, which is not bad and as they continue the PC site they keep creating contents anyway. It sounds strange to give it up like this, but Recruit sometimes stops
Other new capabilities planned for HTML 5 include the ability for users to edit documents and parts of documents interactively. Also planned are features to make it easier to represent familiar page elements, including section tags, page footers, and navigation elements. Maintenance of persistent client-side storage is another highlight in version 5.
