Japan GDP

The second image shows Japanese GDP plotted from 1980 to 2006. It shows our once 18% GDP down to a a modest 9.1% in 2006. Furthermore, the text on the right explains that we’ve gone from the world’s highest GDP per capita to the world’s 18th. It’s really no wonder we’re having a hard time getting attention in Japan. With an aging population and a less-than-competitive economy, there are ways to manage, but you don’t get there by denying the facts and continuing to beat you chest IMHO.

why japan is screwed. the same thing will happen to switzerland as well

No Swiss DMCA

A dangerous law has been passed on the 5th October by both the Parliment and the National Council almost without resistance. The revision represents massive advances for legal protection of copy protection mechanisms. It is my conviction that such technical copy protection measures are of no merit for the consumer and will ultimately also harm the content producers. A law that puts such measures under special protection is hence just as ill advised.

i am really curious if my swiss friends will pull this off.
