    Japan begins to take away the last great thing America has -- innovation and creation of new technologies.

    Great! Now, we should take a hint from the rest of the world and follow three easy steps:

    (1) Wait for [Japan] to develop new, high-speed-over-powerline technology.

    (2) "Borrow" technology for use in American homes.

    (3) Profit!
