JAPAN EARTHQUAKE

MARCH 11, 2011, Massive 8.9 earthquake had struck in the northeast of Japan on Friday, 11 March, 2011. 





The Japanese archipelago is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates meet. This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes.
Tsunamis have deviated the east coast, and casualties are mounting. Nuclear power plant evacuations, mounting deaths, and severe, widespread damage continue to occur. 






The massive wave of water, as high as 10 metres in some parts, reached more than five kilometers inland.







10-meter tsunami swept away everything in its path, including houses, ships, cars and farm buildings on fire.

The number of missing and death is now 667 (As of 11 March, 2011)


Towns and farms around Sendai city in northern Japan have been engulfed by a seven-metre tsunami

 Please look at the news and information, turn on the Tv, every news channel broadcasting about this now, then please pray for them.
Even Japan is peaceful country, no war, no conflict, even no guns. but we can't handle power of nature. We cannot do anything against nature. I hope the situation gets better as quickly as possible.


I hope my family, friends, friends family, every  Japanese are safe.
Earthquake doesn't  still stop hitting  Japan.

iPad 2 and 3!?!?




2 more days left till iPad2 comes out. rumores are already to swirl about Apple’s plans for iPad 3!
11日に発売予定のiPad 2。でもすでにiPad 3の噂が出てるらしい。。。


9月に発売され、しかもしかも
iPod touchの大画面バージョンも、という噂まで。
iPadはだんだん小型に、
iPodtouchはだだん大型に、
shuffleにはタッチ画面が、
どんどんセグメントがなくなってきて、しかもペースが早い。


このままだと消費者の購買意欲がなくなってくるのではないかと思うけど,,,
どうなのか、、、
Softbankの孫氏はいよいよiPadを小学校に配り始めたり、後継者の大学まで設立したり。今のところの経営戦略では孫が勝ってる気もします。

 Steve  Jobs後継者がどうAppleを動かしていくか期待です。 あの二人は、いろいろと接点があるし、いずれ、統合、もしくは買収になるかも、、、いやそれはないか。。
Appleのブランド価値だけは落としてほしくない!!


ちなみにiPad 3には、iPad 2になぜか搭載されなかった

Retina」- 簡単にいうと画像がより細かく綺麗に。
SDカードスロット、USBポート」
Tunderbolt」- 同期速度高速化!
NFCテクノロジ」- 近づけるだけで情報交換できる。
G」- 無線通信速度の飛躍的な向上!

が搭載されるかもという事で、iPad 2の購入は見送りたいところだけど、
今回は先行予約がなかったためか、
AT&T, Verizonの店舗、Target, Best Buy,WalMartが初日から売り出すみたいで、需要量はあがると思う。
前回は28日で100万代売れた初代iPadiPad 2の売れ行きが楽しみ
