Video: Japanese doctors use iPad during surgery
Posted on June 2, 2010 | No Comments
As we all know by now, the iPad can be used in many ways, and we know it's a hit product. The Japanese seem to embrace the device, too (it came out in that country a few days ago). And for some strange reason, Japanese doctors in particular love the iPad. Last month, we reported about one living in Fukuoka in Southern Japan who x-rayed his device and posted a picture on his blog.

Photo report: Darth Vader promotes DoCoMo cell phones in weird campaign
Posted on April 30, 2010 | No Comments
NTT DoComo, Japan's largest cell phone carrier (55 million customers), is currently running a pretty bizarre viral promotion campaign in this country (both on- and offline). The company has set up a weird website [JP] that, for some strange reason, shows Darth Vader running around Tokyo and asking who's his boss ("Who is my boss" is the official tag line of the campaign).

Posted on April 15, 2010 | No Comments
For some strange reason, the contrast race seems to be on. TV's seem to getting higher and high contrast ratio, but LG was claiming a 1,000,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and now BenQ is claiming a 12,000,000:1.

GR DIGITAL III × STUSSY: Ricoh unveils limited edition point-and-shoot camera
Posted on December 21, 2009 | No Comments
It's Stussy's 30th birthday next year, and for some strange reason the fashion company collaborated with Japanese electronics maker Ricoh to celebrate the occasion in the form of a Stussy-branded digital camera [JP]. Technically, Ricoh didn't change anything in the GR DIGITAL III the Stussy camera is based on (and which was released in August this year), meaning the new exterior design will most likely attract hardcore Stussy fans or camera collectors only.

Feeling lonely? Bizarre Japanese CD lets 600 different girls say “I love you” to you
Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Comments
Does anybody remember the DVD I blogged that was supposed to cure shyness in geeks by letting them look at 50 different girls over a time span of 96 minutes? The girls would just sit there, not saying or doing anything. The idea was to make you get used to looking at pretty girls on the TV to overcome your shyness in real life.
That was last year. And now we have the Hougen CD [JP], which is more or less trying to do the same thing - but this time not with video but audio. In my view this CD, a real product you can buy, is even dumber than aforementioned DVD: What you get is a CD on which 600 different Japanese girls say "Daisuki!" or "Meccha Daisukiyanen!", which means "I love you!" in Japanese.

Feather or spectacles: New USB sticks double as bookmarks
Posted on June 4, 2009 | No Comments
For some strange reason, USB seems to stimulate the imagination of crap gadget makers. This is especially true for Japanese companies, i.e Thanko, or (in this case) Solid Alliance. The Tokyo-based company, which just last week brought us the USB Ninja Star, now sells two weird USB sticks [JP] doubling as bookmarks (for real books).
