At PSPINC, we have banned the use of Firefox browser. We now asked everyone in Research and Development and Web Design to use Internet Explorer as their browser. There are people who hate this change. But it was necessary when some of the products that we have developed worked fine on Firefox and not on IE.

Firefox might be more flexible, but we must consider the market size of the browsers. So we have decided to ban the use of Firefox and asked everyone to uninstall it from the computer.

Now everyone is using IE except me.

No, I am not using Firefox. I uninstalled it from my Mac. There is no IE for Mac, so I am now using Safari. It is not too bad. It actually works very much like Firefox. Now, there is no more excuse saying, It worked on Firefox.

Gas Price Has Gone Up.

I filled up my car yesterday at Shell station near by. This was the first time in a while it cost more than $50. When I left Seattle to Japan for a business two weeks ago, the gas price was less than $3.00 per gallon on premium. Now it has gone over the $3 mark again.

Also I have noticed that the price of diesel is now less than the regular gas. This is how it supposed to be since it require less refining. What was the deal with the diesel price when Mr. Bush was in the office?

The new version of Macintosh OS X (10.6) Snow Leopard is coming this September. Unlike Microsoft, Apple upgrades their OS every year and have us all pay for it. There is no upgrade price either.

I wish they just make the upgrade available for free or cheaper price to current users.

Broadcasting Company in Tokyo

This is the HQ of Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) in Akasaka, Japan. It is a very large broadcasting company.

We have our data center at Fisher Plaza in Seattle, which is the home for KOMO 4 Seattle TV station. So I am used to the TV stations, but this facility is so large. There are many other buildings around to support TBS.

There are restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, and brand name merchandise shops for regular people like all the TV celebrities and us.

There were party going on near by with people wearing tuxedos and dresses. I don t see that very often anywhere.

I took this picture this morning at one of the busiest train stations in Japan called Shinagawa. I had an appointment with our clients Kokuyo at 10:00 am. Shinagawa houses many large companies but the most well known is SONY. Their HQ is few minuets walk from this station.
