Pioneering and Leading Technologies and Governments in U.S. and Japan


U.S. and Japan have a few similar political and economic patterns; even Japan has favored group interests and cultural values in running the national political ideologies and government-guided economic policies. U.S Congress, both houses, is controlled by Democrat and Republican for centuries compared to Japan’s the Diet influenced and controlled by two big parties – Democratic Party of Japan and Liberal Democratic Party – and other smaller parties – People’s Life First, New Komeito, Your Party and others. Japan’s Prime Minister Candidate is nominated by the winning party at the lower house of the Diet. That party will choose the current president of the party as New Prime Minister of Japan. The new Prime Minister will choose members of the new cabinet. U.S. Congress runs with two houses – Senate and Representative. A senator has a 6-year-term office and a representative has a 2-year-term office. American voters choose a candidate for White House each very-four-year. Republicans and Democrats will nominate their U.S. President candidates for U.S. President Election. Japan and U.S. also approve new policies by opinions and decisions of legislators – members of U.S Congress and members of the Diet.

Consumer electronic products and Software Development


To offer alternative OS versions as strategic and competitive tools to Microsoft Window, Apple OS, Google Chrome OS and Open Linux variants. HP has tried to add new values into its computer products and software development by introducing its new released WebOS to open source communities. It is called LunaCe, ideally running on a Legacy TouchPad Tablets. Google’s Chrome OS has just been tested on Samsung’s Chromebooks with prices from $500 to $350. If both Google and HP can improve their new open-source-code OS versions, mostly compatible with tablets and Smartphone, two corporations will have more powerful edges to gain some market shares from Microsoft’s dominated Window OS. Apple has raised its market capitalization by shortening each new released product cycle of iPhone and iPad to generate substantial profit margins from the global market. The patent battle with Samsung is another proof of explaining how Apple needs to dominate Smartphone and tablet markets. Samsung has used Google’s Android OS. Samsung has leveraged its market competitive strategies to offer new Smartphones running Window Phone OS. HP has tried to catch up the mainstream consumers’ tastes to develop its own WebOS compatible for tablets.
