Answer to Yesterday's Question

thread
Answer to Yesterday's Question
I am sure many of thinking the same. That is why do I have pay so much for Telephone, Cable TV (Satellite TV) and Internet. It always starts around $100 per month but before you know it, you are paying $150 ... may be close to $200 per month with no HBO or Starz ...

Heck with the cable, we are moving to standard digital TV. Yes, we are cancelling cable TV and telephone services. We will just keep Internet. I have Apple TV and this antenna for TV. With this antenna, I can get about 20 channels for free including all the local channels. That is enough.

For telephone, we are switching to Internet telephone ... we are keeping the phone number as well. Bye bye to Cable company. Now I can look for better Internet.

More Than Just Enough!

thread
More Than Just Enough!
To succeed in the US, you need to provide more than just enough to consumers. That is the most difficult thing about doing business in the US. You never know how much is enough, so that people provide more than enough to make sure it is enough.

It is great for consumers, but to is very hard for service providers. When you look at our hosting service, it has lots of features and we are planing to add more in 2016.

Nice to be in Seattle
For years and years, Seattle had no winning professional sports team. Now Seahawks are going to playoff again. It's so great to have a team that is playing so well.

Congratulations for making the playoff. I did not think we make it this year.

What Does Made in Japan Mean?

thread
What Does Made in Japan Mean?
What makes Japanese products better?

Japanese people pride themselves for taking existing products and making it more refined and sell them for cheaper. That is how they dominated the world in many industries. Now there are many competitors from other Asian nations which are making things cheaper than Japanese. Japanese are moving more away from cheap products.

I think that is a mistake. Japanese should continue to pursue the art of making things better at cheaper price through handwork and innovations.

When you setup iPad Pro like this ... I don't think we need to carry note book PC (or MacBook Air) any more. It is a quite good setup with very useable keyboard. As for a Pencil ... I don't know if you need it.

I will use it to test all PSPINC services.

Dual Monitor Setup for Mac Mini

thread
Nice Setup Nice Setup All Ports Full All Ports Full
Using the mini display port and HDMI port on Mac Mini, I manage to setup Mac Mini with Dual 26" monitors. Now the setup is close to what it was when I was using Mac Pro.

Other than Audio in and FireWire port, all ports on Mac Mini are full. Not much expansion for this little guy. Next wish is to replace hard disk with SDD. It's slow with regular Hard Disk.

MADE IN THE USA

My New Shoes. I sent little mo... My New Shoes.
I sent little more money but I rather have the products MADE IN THE USA.
What does "MADE IN THE USA" means to you?
Does it matter whether the product is made in the USA to you?

I do care about where the product is made.
Being born in Japan, MADE IN JAPAN also means a lot to me.
I'm sure many ladies care about MEDE IN INTALY or FRANCE.
Guys care about GERMANY.

PSPINC does not offshore it's development or support overseas to save money.
We care about quality. All the software that we develop are MADE IN WASHINGTON. We can service them, fix them and upgrade them IN WASHINGTON.

Plastic Folders
Those things are very common in Japan but not so much in the US. I don't think you can find them in an office supply stores. Even if you find them, they are extremely expensive. So, I used Alibaba. This is my second purchase from Alibaba. So for the experiences have been very positive.

Have you ever used Alibaba?

Best Shaver

thread
Best Shaver
I have been using disposable shaver for a long time. But it does not shave well, so I ordered traditional shaver online (it was $15) on Black Friday. It arrived yesterday and I used it this morning. It have only one blade not like 3, 4, 5 blades you get on fancy shaver. But, this shaved super well. Even at this price, the set came with 30 replacement blades. It's a great deal. I highly recommend it.

Dual Monitor Setup for Mac Mini

thread
Dual Monitor Setup for Mac Mini
As you may already know, I retired my Mac Pro and replace it with Mac Mini (2012 Model). It comes with only 1 HDMI port but I needed to setup dual monitors. I leaned that you can connect secondary monitor using Thunderbolt port (AKA mini display port). Today Mac Mini computers are equipped with 2 Thunderbolt ports ... I guess that means you can have up to 3 monitors.

I will let you know if my setup will work or not.

After Upgrading to OS X El Capitan

thread
After Upgrading to OS X El Cap...
After replacing my Mac Pro to Mac Mini and upgrading to OS X El Capitan, I found:

(1) Microsoft Office Require New Versions
(2) Apple Aperture software does not run any more

Well, I have today good bye to Microsoft Office. This is very unfortunate but system did not allow me to transfer license and wanted me to buy a new Office license. Sad, but I decided to delete Microsoft Office.

What hurts more is that Aperture which hold over 100,000 photos are no longer working. Apple wants me to move to Photos ... I am currently backing up all Aperture Photos to Flickr ... One that is done I will be converting everything to Photos. Oh, the error message says I need to upgrade to the latest version of Aperture but there is no such thing as Aperture in App Store.

I also called Apple support ... Can you believe the person I talked to did not know what Aperture is???

This really sucks.

Out of Place

thread
Out of Place
Dear Gaijin (Foreigners),

Japanese people do not eat or drink in the train except it was a long distance ride like Shinkansen.

Why?

You will not find any trash can anywhere in Japan especially in the railway stations.

Why?

March 20, 1995, Tokyo subway sarin attack happened and trash bins were used. Since then, all trash bins were removed.

Now you know.
