Sony has announced a new PlayStation 3 model for the Japan market. This new version will be charcoal black with an upgraded 320 gigabyte capacity hard drive.
I've been a fan of the Sleipnir browser for a while, first attracted by the notion of a Japan-made browser a few years back. I'm not a regular user of Sleipnir, mind you. Just a fan. I like that there's choice like this out there. But on my Mac I stick with Chrome primarily for speed and a few preferred extensions.
Kakaku.com is a pretty fascinating price-comparison engine that I use quite a bit here in Japan. There are a number of cool features that I find myself coming back to regularly, namely the handy ‘price down’ list which shows products whose price have recently dropped, as well as a informative graph that shows the change in price over time. The products offered range from electronics to bicycles and everything in between.
