InfoWorld - A U.S. security expert is suing the Japanese government for &#165;30 million (&#36;291,000) for allegedly censoring his criticisms of Japan's online citizens registry database, called Juki Net. In a lawsuit filed against Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Ejovi Nuwere, CTO of SecurityLab Technologies, in Boston, alleged that the ministry stopped him from making a presentation in which he planned to discuss his concerns about the security of the database. Juki Net has been surrounded by controversy, particularly over security concerns, since before its launch in 2003. Nuwere was one of three experts hired by the government to test the security of the system. The experts successfully managed to compromise servers in part of the system. Nuwere had intended to describe these experiences in his talk.

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft's Japan unit plans to study more closely the use of digital technology in the lives of average Japanese to gain insight that it might use overseas, the head of its Japanese unit said Monday. "Microsoft has a lot to learn from Japan's digital lifestyle," said Darren Huston, president of Microsoft Co. Ltd. at a news conference in Tokyo. Huston used the event to outline progress made in the Japanese market over the last financial year and outline plans for the coming year. In addition to looking more closely at how Japanese consumers use their digital gadgets, such as cellphones and personal computers with built-in TV and video recording, Huston will also continue the company's push of its Windows Mobile platform and Xbox 360. Huston said he was "super proud" that Japanese carriers are beginning to sell Windows Mobile devices. Three years ago when he took charge there were none available, he said. Over the next 12 months Microsoft's Japan unit will also devote more resources to both pushing information technology into the Japanese workplace, which he said was several years behind those of the U.S. or Europe in terms of IT adoption. "There is a tremendous opportunity to increase worker productivity with IT," said Huston. Many small Japanese companies still rely on piecemeal collections of personal computers and often have only one or no central server. Microsoft has been trying to change this by promoting its Windows Server products and the job of pushing penetration of IT into the enterprise will go to Yasuyuki Higuchi, chief operating officer of the company who joined earlier this year. That's in contrast to digital lifestyles, which are several years ahead of the West, Huston said.
