Japan is always pushing the technological boundaries with their trains, instead of sitting on their laurels like the USA. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and we've had basically the same BART trains for the past 40 years. Though it's a commuter train and not a Shinkansen, it sure could use some investment...

@Wakarimasen, maybe you should learn to read to the end of an article: "Sime Darby’s latest annual report showed Tesco operates 49 stores throughout Malaysia. Net profit rose 73% to 82.2 million ringgit ($21.6 million) last year, on revenue that rose 1.1% to 4.65 billion ringgit, the report showed. "

I went to the Softbank store today. With the campaigns going on till the end of Oct., I can actually pay LESS per month if I trade in my iPhone 5. People, take a look. I usually only upgrade every 3-4 years but this is different.
