Does Apple retain the "revolutionary"?

Im a big fun of apple product. Recently, I am concerned that latest apple product. Because the new ipad surely, it is a most beautiful screeen in whole tablet. but this gadget get addtional 50g weight. If steve jobs had been alive, he had admitted that. as you know, tim cook is a ceo who is one of the best perfomance, neverthless, he seems to be kind extraly compared with jobs. once, jobs said "1000 say no". Does tim say NO 1000times until the new ipad was launched. In addition to this, macbookpro ratina display model and macbookair ivybridge model make me dissapointed. Because, these are just minor changes. this is no longer "revolutionary" this phenominon indicate collapse of apple? I wish it may not become that situation....

Apple: the company which Jap company wanna be...

 Concept of Apple is quite similar to Japanese method. High quality product, more expensive price, good user experience. these are all purpose that Jap should aim for, however, reality is opposite. Japanese company looks like lying dead fish.

How google drive defeat dropbox?

Google drive have been out this week. Google gives all of users 5gb storage freely.
In size of storage, It is useful compared with dropbox, suger sync and sky drive.
However, I think leader have a big advantage about this market. Because, user emphasize cooperation with other application rather than bigger space.
For example, "I bunko HD" is one of the most popular application in ipad. this application have a function that be able to download from dropbox. If I don't use this from Google Drive, I am NOT going to use it as main cloud storage.
Most important thing is that Google should promote collaboration of other application.

Foreign people don't wanna smaller laptop or tablet

If you see both sales ranking of amazon.com and co.jp, you can find each tendency:
In japan, netbook or other smaller laptop is popular. on the other hand, Bigger and
high-class laptops are popular in America.
 I believe that popularity of netbook is grobal phenomenon. But result is different.
Perhaps, In America main transportation is car: easy to bring even if it is a little heavy, but Japanese main transportation is train : congested, crowded, and no one
wanna bring heavier one!

Company, in particular Samsung rising. Samsung now operated own company very well. Main products, 
Electrics and Smartphone get bigger share respectively compared with Japanese company.
 Advantage of Japan is completely expired. Most of Japanese company recently face terrible results.
Panasonic, which is one of the leading company in Japan, highlighted that balance sheet at closing maybe huge 
deficit.

RPG history and future :thought from Square Enix(1)

1.Summary

2.History
  (1)FC(NES)
  (2)SFC(SNES)
  (3)PS(PSX)
  (4)PS2(PSX2)
3.Recently
   PS3and mobile platform(PSP,NDS etc...)
4.Future

1.Summary
    about 20years ago, Video game is king of entertainment in Japan. In particular,
  RPG (roll playing game) is most popular. But today, they are in difficult position.
  Especially, RPG is decreasing own sales. I talk about the history and future of
  Japanese RPG by way of example "Final Fantasy" and "Dragon Quest".

2.History
  (1)FC(NES)
         Final Fantasy 1~3(total sales:2.68million)
         Dragon Quest1~4(total sales:5.05million)

        If someone ask what is first domestic RPG,  Many gamers say "Dragon  
      Quest".Before releasing that,  contents in many video games were more
      simple: Just shooting and action game. Dragon Quest was most complicated
      game at that time. Because there are some question and command in that.
      For example: Buy item, gathering information by walking and chatting.
        As company was making newer one, what player could do was getting more.
      they could make the party(team) and control, cross over the sea by ship and
      so on regardless of capacity in ROM is same as 3.5inch FD.
        About that point, final fantasy was in the same way. Except for battle type was
      side view: Dragon quest had front view and it was general type. but Final Fantasy
      had paid attention to the visuality since that time. These difference made  future
      each directions.
        To tell the sales, video games is special entertainment. However boring game
       was, game company was easy to sell.(for instance, Despite Ikki is famous as
       terrible game in Japan nowadays, it had about a million sales)
 (2)SFC(SNES)
        Final Fantasy4~6(total sales:5.43million)
        Dragon Quest5~6(total sales:9.1million)

        By releasing SFC that stands for Super Family Computer, Game company used
      biffer capacity of up to about 20MB. Game soft that have more beautiful graphic
      and sound or music. According to this, more people find video games enjoyable.
      If you see the above result of sales, you can understand that popularity in those
      at that time was awesome.
        As you know, amount of sales in Dragon quest was bigger than that of Final
      Fantasy. However, compared total sales of FC to that of SFC,increasing rate
      that Final fantasy had  was bigger.
       The reason was that Square company, he produced final fantasy series, was
      conscious to make marvelous graphic and interesting story. Final Fantasy 6
      deal with destruction and creation. there are energy problem and conflict in
      this story.It is not too say that the story is drama.
       However, dragon quest stick to these classical visual.Core user want a classical
     visual.They believe that dragon quest is pioneer of role playing game and they don't
     wanna graphic evolution Inheritance of tradition.

Popular job

When you are asked about your longing job, what do you answer?
Pilot? Doctor? and System Engineer? In Hokkaido, public servant is most popular job.
That including police and fireman. Especially, clerk in city hall of bigger city is popular among 
college student.
Because clerk can get high salary, long vacation, promised happy retirement.On the other hand, General company force the workers to overwork without overtime fee. in addition to this, people can't get vacation easily. (Surely, people have paid vacation system, they hardly to make use.)
So,Most of people regard that favorite treatment as unforgivable thing.

Bear and Deer(1)


  Bear and Deer are typical nature animals. Usually, People think that bear is scary,deer is cute. But in Hokkaido, both of them cause some problem.
  Bear,is called "Higuma", is the strongest animal in Japan. However, he have higher intelligence and know that encountering human is useless. Bear find us before meeting each other by great nose.
But, nowadays, bear doesn't fear Human.  the hunter is decreasing. Most of people that go to mountain is ordinary and don't have guns exactly. In only occasionally, bear live in near the town descend the mountain and walk around to find food if there are country side.
 Epecially, there are no nuts in Hokkaido mountain.  To our surprise, They arrived at Central department of Sapporo. Sapporo is prefectural capital!!!
 Bear is approaching near the human lives for his foods.

Countryside in Hokkaido

  Countryside is different from Sapporo in various things. In short, country side is car society and nature.
  Hokkaido is huge. There is far distance between towns. But train is useless because you have to stand for waiting longtime between train and train. So most of country people depend on car.
  They drive too much. The feeling of them is far from that of other prefecture people. If you say that you drive 60km with your car, people in Tokyo gonna say " You have driven long time!" But Hokkaido people just say "Oh, did you go to the next town?"
  Most of people don't mind little longer drive. That's usual.

Sapporo(2)

  Surely, Sapporo is awesome city but there are some drawback.

 As you know, Sapporo have many snow in winter, those who go to work place with Train must prepare for heavy cold and train delays. Heavy snow makes you irritate and sometimes catch a cold.
 As a matter of fact, I'm angry to them everyday! Disgusting!
 If you want to avoid the disaster,you may live a house near the subway station. Underground is warm and easy to walk. Subway have never been late without
human and mechanical accidents.
 But in general,  most of house which is located in near the subway station is much higher than suburbs.

Sapporo(1)

If you want to live in or stay with Hokkaido, you may choose the city which you live.

There are three type of cities in Hokkaido.

1.Prefectual capital  (Sapporo)
2.MIddle sized cities (Asahikawa, Hakodate,  Obihiro and etc)
3.Country ( Town less than 100,000)

 Daily life in Hokkaido have in common except for Sapporo. Sapporo is special. If you
don't have much money for moving, you may choose Sapporo. There are three reason which I think sapporo is easy to live or stay.
  At first, Transportation and Shopping are great. Main transportation in Sapporo is subway and train. Its a very useful. So you don't have to buy car. If you want to buy something, you gonna get almost what you want to do by walk. But you may think "I can't bring something to heavy!" Don't worry,  You can make use of delivery service
in most shop.
  At second, some people can speak English. Sapporo is famous for Site seeing.
Quite a few people come to Sapporo every day. In addition to this, education level is higher than other Hokkaido towns or cities. Nothing to say, most of Japanese is poor at speaking English. Perhaps, some citizen in Sapporo speak English haltingly (Especially, young ages)
  At third, you enjoy good nature.  In summer time, you may go to BBQ and in winter Sapporo has many ski resorts.
  Sapporo is very fascinate city.
