Ito's Lemma

Kiyoshi Ito passed away on November 10th. If you've worked for financial products, especially derivatives, you could have heard his name at least. He found out the Ito's lemma. The lemma was based on the Black-Sholes Formula. The formula was caused the largest revolution on the financial business. We're living now and we'll also live in the uncertain futures. Especially, the financial investors and brokers had traded with their experiences, senses and simple graphs or charts only. However, the formula brought the science and engineering knowledges to the financial trading.
I hoped he could win the Nobel Prize in Economics as the first Japanese. It's really a shame...

All about A380

The current trend is the ecology technology. However I feel the future from large technologies. One of them must be A380. Everybody would want to take the premier seat like a private room.
There are no lines in Japan. If I want, I have to transfer to Singapore and go to Australia.. It's so expensive!
Though this book is a paperback, there are many pictures on this book. I was surprized really when I saw a photo that there would be a convenience store in A-380...

Planet Google

If you have read some books on Google, you don't have to, because this book tells Google's history, technologies and minds. If you haven't, I recommend this book.
However This book doesn't tell Google deeply. There are no technical topics for engineers or programmers. In addition, there are no ideas on Google's futures. The contents have only analyses on the past and current circumstances.

Beginners for Labor Law

This book explain some cases to get fired in Japan. However, it seems very common. I don't believe this book could be worth to read.
