As late as April 28th, DoCoMo was supposed to provide the miniSIMs for the iPad in Japan (Mainichi Shimbun), so talks either broke down in early May, or Softbank made Apple an offer it couldn't refuse. In either case, users will be paying the tab fo…

The online store went to it's usual update mode about a quarter to midnight and wasn't back up when I finally gave up about an hour later. I woke up about 3:30AM and it was accepting orders so I ordered two. Softbank is playing filthy as usual an…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cMEJikAblI This is a video of a live broadcast shown in Japan, where the reporter was trying to demonstrate how cool Windows 7 is. Only thing is, it didn't work for him. Even funnier, they experienced the same thin…

There are already several services that offer online manga in Japan, including Yahoo Japan which is owned by Softbank, the iPhone provider here, while manga on cell phones has been available for several years now. The largest bookstore offering ele…

Back in the early 80's we were required to buy programmable Casio scientific calculators for graduate level Pharm.D. programs. We needed them for pharmacokinetic calculations based on blood level data (to calculate doses of drugs with a small therap…
