Steve Jobs is a Ninja and Carries Throwing Stars

This is an interesting article, which doesn't explain the answer to a basic question: why does Japan care about personal near-field weapons for passengers in private jets?<p>It's hard to understand the use cases where these are any sort of a danger to society compared to just ownership of the jet.

If you mean an MS DOS-programming Ninja, and then, yes he once was a Ninja. Then he was a Grandmaster in Windows. Now he is somewhat of a red belt in Philanthropy (see him make progress here <a href="http://twitter.com/BillGates" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/BillGates</a> ) with a blue belt in watching his former company make horrific mistakes. But MS is not dead yet, and he isn't either. Maybe he will get bored and take it over again one day.
