Story
カリフォルニア州クパチーノ市と言えば、アップル本社がある街として知られる。近くにはサンノゼ、マウンテンビュー、サニーヴェイルといった街があり、グーグルやオラクル、アドビなど、さまざまなテクノロジー企業がひしめいていることは、あらためて説明するまでもないだろう。 そんなハイテクのイメージが染みついたクパチーノだが、街の裏に拡がる山に世界的に知られる有名ワイナリーの本拠地があることはあまり知られていない。地元の人たちですら「あれはソノマ(ナパヴァレーの隣町)のワイナリーじゃないの?」と言うぐらいだ。(本文より)本田雅一の「続・モバイル通信リターンズ」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

Story
「今度、焼鳥屋に出資したんだよ」 ちょっとした打ち合わせで顔を合わせた、飲食店とは縁遠い知人が唐突に切り出した。なんでも行き付けの焼鳥屋に、特別焼き技術の高い若手がいたそうで、その店の常連が独立を支援したということらしい。そんな話を聞いた半年後、東京・恵比寿にある「喜鈴」を訪問した。 東京に美味しい焼鳥屋はたくさんある。それこそ昔ながらのキタナシュランから、ミシュランの星を持つ名店、ワインペアリング込みで2万円という高級店もある。1万円を超えると、さすがに焼鳥としては割高ではないか? と疑問が出てくるが、恵比寿・喜鈴はお酒込みで6000~7000円。よほどの大食漢でない限り、あるいは高価なワインを注文しない限り、一般常識における「高級焼鳥」の予算範囲に収まるはずだ。(本文より) 本田雅一 続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

Story
◇新型ロードスター開発陣に聞く“高付加価値商品の開発手法” まだ一度も記事を書いたことがない『レスポンス』からの連絡を受け、はじめて自動車のプレス試乗会に参加した。いや、正確には横浜で「アウディA5」が新発売となったとき、インプレッション記事を書いたことがあるから2回目か。しかし、いずれにしても門外漢であることは間違いない。 そんな『レスポンス』編集部の気まぐれも手伝ってか、鹿児島が5年ぶりの大雪に見舞われ13センチの積雪を記録した。僕はその翌日、一面銀世界の鹿児島空港に降り立つという貴重な経験をした。このとき、鹿児島空港で撮影した滑走路の写真をSNSにアップロードし「雪国に来たよ~」と書いても誰も疑わなかっただろう。 実に貴重な体験と言えるが、鹿児島の雪景色以上の貴重だったのは、後輪にチェーンを巻いたマツダ新型ロードスターに乗り込んだことかもしれない。ロードスターにチェーンを履かせて走る機会は、そうそうあるものじゃない。(本文より) 本田雅一 続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

2015年12月17日、久々にビル・ゲイツ氏の講演を聴きました。もっとも、かつて聴いていたテクノロジーの未来について語るゲイツ氏の話ではありません。彼が2000年ぐらいから始めてきた、そして現在は100%のエネルギーを注ぎ込んでいる“フィランソロピー”活動に関しての話です。フィランソロピーは事業を通じて世の中を改善しようという取り組みで、日本では税制上の問題などもあって一般的ではありませんが、米国では資金余力のある投資家や企業家などが取り組んできた活動です。 ゲイツ氏の場合、奥さんと2人で立ち上げたゲイツ・メリンダ財団を通じて、多種多様な事業を支援してきましたが、今回は日本で寄付文化を定着させよう、また政府にも税制の枠組みとして寄付による活動がやりやすくなるよう働きかけようとの目的で開催されている「寄付月間」に合わせて来日。朝日新聞社の主催で会が開かれ、彼の社会貢献に対する考え方を聴くことになりました。(本文より)本田雅一の「続・モバイル通信リターンズ」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

“フォーブスのトップ200社など、世界のトップ企業が採用するセキュリティ技術とは?”などと書くと、どこかの広告のようだが、大手企業が契約しているサイバーセキュリティ技術はイスラエルの、ごく一部の企業に集中している。以前から漠然と疑問に思っていたのだが、偶然にも自動車のサイバーセキュリティに関して取材をしているときにその理由を知った。ご存知のとおりイスラエルは地理、政治、宗教などにおいて複雑な状況にあり、日常的にテロの脅威にさらされている。このため諜報機関や軍事組織が発達していることはご存知だろう。国民皆徴兵制で、多くの国民は高校卒業後、大学に入る前に徴兵義務をこなすという。(本文より)本田雅一 続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

Story
今回のテーマを取り上げようと思ったきっかけは、先日、米コンシューマリポートが報告した調査記事だった。同社は毎年、自動車メーカーのブランド力をいくつかの切り口からスコアリングして順位を付けている。ドイツのメーカーに比べ、日本メーカーは信頼感で勝るスコアを付けることが多く、とりわけレクサスやトヨタが強いランキングだ。今年もナンバーワンはレクサスだったが、2位には意外なメーカーが顔を覗かせていた。マツダである。3位以下はトヨタ、アウディ、スバル、ポルシェ、ビュイックと続く。マツダは昨年、トップ5にも入っていなかったというのに大躍進したのだ。こうした様々な自動車関連のランキングや評価が掲載されたコンシューマリポートの2015年の自動車特集号の表紙は、数ある新発表車種の中からMAZDA MX-5(日本名:ロードスター)が選ばれている。(本文より)本田雅一 続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

僕が“フリーランス”で仕事をし始めた……すなわち、会社員などの何らかの組織に所属することを辞めたのは1993年末のことでした。あれから22年近くというと、ずいぶん遠いようですが、今でも勤め人だったころの自分を忘れることはありません。 ……と、このように書き出し始めたのは、先日、札幌で国土交通省支援のテレワークイベントで講演をしてきたためです。このイベントの主催は、女性を中心としたフリーランサーのテレワークを推進し、結婚や育児で“場所”と“時間”に縛られて活用できていない優秀な女性が働ける環境をと20年近く活動をしてきた、Y's Stuff(ワイズスタッフ)の田澤由利さん。実は彼女は、僕がフリーランスで仕事を始めるきっかけとなった人物なのです。(本文より)本田雅一の「続・モバイル通信リターンズ」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

僕はクルマを運転するのが大好きで、10年近くK4-GPという燃費制限の厳しいクローズドサーキットを使ったレースイベントに参加しています。旧車に搭載された1000cc以下のエンジン、あるいは990cc以下(ターボ換算1.5倍なので基本は軽自動車用です)のエンジンを用い、車体のルールは“ほとんどナシ”。その代わり(大まかに言うと)1000キロを平均時速100km以上、燃費10km/L以上ぐらいの条件で走るというルールがおもしろく、富士スピードウェイでの1000km耐久や、マレーシアのセパン・サーキットに遠征して24時間耐久レースに出場していました。(本文より)本田雅一の「続・モバイル通信リターンズ」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

経済のことをよく知っている人には釈迦に説法になってしまうが、バブル経済というのは日本でも中国でも、同じようなプロセスで発生する。投資対象の価値が上がり続けている状況では、より大きな投資を続けたほうが資産を増やすことができる。投資物件の価値が増えたところで、その物件を担保に別の物件に投資する。この動きが熱を帯びてくると、実際には物件に需要がないにもかかわらず、投資家どうしが物件購入で競合するようになるため、さらにその価値が(名目上は)上がっていく。(本文より)本田雅一 続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

旅先で日本から来た知人が雑誌の『アエラ』を携えていた。暇つぶしにと少し読んでみる。ボクは……いいことなのか、悪いことなのか、わからないけれど……ほとんど雑誌を読みません。文章を書いている人間で、しかもその出稿先は雑誌やウェブ媒体だというのに、自分では読まないんです。特に自分が専門としている分野に関しては、意識して読みません。普通の雑誌はたまに目を通しますが、近年はテクノロジー製品が一般生活の中に浸透していますから、どんな雑誌を読んだところで、自分がふだん書いている記事の何かにはかすってしまうんですね。ニュースにはもちろん目を通しますし、必要な情報を探した結果、誰かの意見を目にすることはあるのですが……。(本文より)本田雅一 続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

この話を思いついたのは、小説家の福井晴敏氏が「自分の存在が忘れられることが怖い」と話していたからだ。ベストセラー作家の福井氏が、なぜそこまでと思うほどだったのだが、なるほどと思ったのが「2000年以降、新人作家で名前を覚えられている人はほとんどいない」という彼の意見だった。もちろん、個々にファンを持つ作家は生まれているが、確かに“小説家”という視点でみたとき、記憶に残る小説家を思い出せない。福井氏のあと京極夏彦氏が世に出て以降、ビジネス書でベストセラーを出した筆者を思い出すことはできるが、作家というと池井戸潤氏ぐらいだろうか。(本文より)本田雅一 続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

ダイソンが掃除機や扇風機で蓄積してきたノウハウを活かして参入した“ヘアドライヤー”という新しい事業領域。その高価格(4万5000円)が話題だ。高価だけに、SNSのタイムラインで検索をすると、本当にその価値があるのか?という視点での話題が拡がっている。 また、高価格を肯定するために、必要以上に広告やPRで消費者をミスリードするメッセージを出しすぎているのではないか? という意見もあった。家電ベンチャーCEREVOを経営する友人の岩佐氏は「618gのドライヤなんて軽くないぞ! メディアよ、ダイソンのPR戦略に踊らされるな! ...という話」というブログを書いていた。 ダイソンの製品は悪くないが、そのPR戦略の踊らされているマスコミはおバカであるという指摘だ。実際にお馬鹿な記事が大量にあるかどうかはともかく、ダイソンが“消費者を踊らせるPR戦略”をしているかというと、まったくそんなことはない。(本文より) 本田雅一 続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job. Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job will be different. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes—especially after what happened last time.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.
