Gaijin-in-JapanBlogging direct from Kobe, Japan
Gaijin isn't a bad word. There just isn't any
other word to describe us. And besides, I'm different and I like it that way. Why else would I decide to leave San Francisco and live here forever? So that I can eat good food? Maybe. |

Are good ideas worth pursuing if someone else with a bigger wallet is just going to steal it and make it difficult for you to get anything in return? Maybe I should write one patent that covers anything coming out of my mouth and another one for anything coming from my fingers?

Sony has been stealing for years transistor radios & VCRs were not from Japan either.

How is it that the original Walkman was so small and made of aluminum (I had one), but all the subsequent models were HUGE and made of plastic and immediately broke on the first use?

No. A German Brazilian named Andreas Pavel did. He called it the “stereobelt” and designed it to “add a soundtrack to real life.” Does that mean he wanted portable music? He eventually got tens of millions in a patent dispute ending in 2003; about 30 years after he first patented it.
