Phar Lap Software 386 DOS Extender

PSPINC used to license US Software packages, translate them into Japanese, publish them in Japan. That is where name Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. comes from.

We have gotten out of licensing and publishing business back in 1996 but until then we have translated tens of software for Japan. And one of the biggest tasks is to translate manuals into Japanese language.

Now, we develop and publish software as a service on the net, we try to make the software so intuitive and easy that you do not need manual. If the system require manuals (although some still do), it is not good enough to be our service.

I tell every one in our R&D team, if you need to explain how to use software to your parents over the phone.

Wired Connection to Internet

Dec

The Visio 14" Notebook PC I purchased does not come with an ethernet adopter (aka RJ45). That means, when I go to some hotels without any wireless connectivity (all wired) I cannot connect to the internet from my room. There are many hotels in Japan do offer wired but no wireless internet.

I had to buy external ethernet adopter. I purchased one on the net for about $20 and I just installed. It is working fine. I think regardless of the size of the PC or Tablet, I wish they all come with ethernet adopter.

Web Cam on my Visio Notebook

My Visio Ultrabook

There is a video camera built into my PC, but do you know there is no software on my PC to test or even take picture using this web cam.

I used the online web cam tester ... I found the camera is foggy, not very high quality, does not focus well ... What the hell I am saying? This is a PC, not a Macintosh. You get what you pay.

Japanese Plastic Show Case

Quarter Pounder Meal

Almost all restaurants in Japan has a display case showing what they serve. They are made out of wax and they are often very realistic. The best we can get in the US is a menu with pictures which are often very different from what they serve.

Have you ever seen the quarter pounder meal like this? If it is this good, I would go there everyday.

Japanese Internet Culture

Japanese TV has more scenes people eating than any other countries in the world. So, does the Internet. There are more Japanese posting what they eat than anyone else. Unless it is a Thanksgiving or some special events like that, I rarely see what people are eating on their blog and social media. It is also funny, when I go to restaurants in japan, there are more people taking pictures of what they are eating in Japan.

いつも思うのだが、Facebook やブログに食べ物のポストをしているのは日本人ばかりだ。日本でレストランに行くとみんなで食べ物の写真をとっている、異様な風景だ。
