Interesting business news...

1. Controversy over the proposed relocation of Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market to the other side of the bay, to an old polluted industrial site. They have 5 more years to figure out what the plan is going to be.

2. Mojo Pac, very cool. Making a lot more of USB sticks.

3. UNIDO, Microsoft, and a Ugandan venture into refurbished computers ("Second Life"). Apparently the refurbished system sale will go beyond a service agreement, and will include a take-back and component disassembly program (planned more than implemented is what I guess at this stage). What then with the components? I don't know.

I should check with BAN about this.
