Sony, une dynamo technologique. L'histoire des fondateurs est de celle dont ont fait les films (Sony). La marque est talonnée par les concurrents asiatiques (Xiaomi, Samsung) et distancée par Apple. Un homme les avait prévenus. Steve Jobs. Sony a 80 ans! https://t.co/wFdXuFCVyV

@GashuYuuki Very good play! Thank you 🙏

Today is launch day for Steve Jobs in Exile. I spent almost four years digging into Steve's stretch in the wilderness -- 1985 to 1997, after Apple pushed him out and before it brought him back.

I expected the record to be complete. What more could there be on the most written-about entrepreneur alive? I was wrong. An archivist at Carnegie Mellon told me I was the first person in about fifteen years to open the NeXT archive. People had been holding letters, tapes, memos, recordings in their closets for decades, waiting to show someone. More than a hundred of them sat down with me.

They didn't tell me about the genius-or-tyrant caricature. This was a younger Steve, mostly off-camera, nearly bankrupt, learning the hard way. Out now, order link below.

Welcome to Japan.

I have now missed the first session at 11am I wanted to see at @SusHiTech_SUJP 2026, stuck in this queue. 20 mins in and I'm only halfway.

Despite receiving a QR code on the ticket via email - everyone needs to queue up if they havent PRINTED IT OUT ON A4 paper.

What the ... ????

I can't believe a tech event needs a paper ticket in 2026. A terrible, terrible advertisement for Japanese tech.

Happy to be a digital transformation consultant for Sushi Tech next year to improve the customer experience.

Tu veux lancer ta PME au Japon? Pas de problème. Amene juste 160.000 euros. https://t.co/aTg2FSsQLH

This is true. I’d add that it would be great to go back to in-person format rather by default rather than by exception. Otherwise, keep up the good work FPCJ!

@Colin_P_A_Jones Yes but the structure of immigration is different here: There is no obvious path short stay > PR > naturalization like elsewhere. Many have short term visa that they renew over and over. And the brutality of the rise (X12,X20 at once) is unheard of I believe. Article to follow.

@Colin_P_A_Jones Where is the "debate gaining unprecedented steam as citizen demand clarity on what it truly means to be Japan"? Can't find it.
