Welcome to Japanese Technology from the Future Friday!
It’s already Friday already here in Japan – we’re 16 hours ahead of the western U.S., which means I totally live in the future. And because it’s already Friday already, I’m left with little time to provide something original or worthwhile before the weekend hits.
So I aggregate!

Why Japan and J-Technology?
Well, I live here. So I’m uniquely positioned to tell you about the future, because I’m in the future. In Japan. And Japan has some of the best technology. See – simple!
Your Source for One-Upping Other People Who Care
JTFF is a conduit of specifically Japanese technological news that keeps readers a day ahead of half the world’s technologically interested/obsessed. I’m pretty sure.

Sony Mass-Firing and Restructuring Probably Won’t Help
Of course, of course the new CEO says he’s going to turn the company around. We shall see how that works out. What’s easy to see right now, however, is that Sony’s downward spiral can be perfectly analogized and expressed by just one of their product lines: the VAIO computers. A series of machines has never more completely demonstrated what happens when a ton of genuinely great ideas are executed with stupendous ineptitude. Yep. Oh, and who’s idea is it to keep pumping out versions of the PSP with antiquated game delivery systems? Come on now Sony, you guys can’t be THAT dumb.
