MAKE is coming to Japan! It will have a lot of our content from the pages of MAKE, but will be specifically for Japan. We’ll be shipping at the end of August, here’s a bit about it and pre-order (Japanese) – “「モノã€ã‚’作り出ã™ãƒ†ã‚¯ãƒŽãƒã‚¸ãƒ¼ãŒç¾åœ¨ã®PCã¨åŒã˜ã‚ˆã†ã«å®‰ä¾¡ã«æ‰‹ã«å…¥ã‚Šã€å°‚門的ãªçŸ¥è˜ãŒãªãã¦ã‚‚自分ã®ä½œã‚ŠãŸã„ã‚‚ã®ã‚’容易ã«ä½œã‚‹ã“ã¨ãŒã§ãる時代ãŒè¿‘ã¥ã„ã¦ã„ã¾ã™ã€‚オープンソースãŒã‚½ãƒ•ãƒˆã‚¦ã‚§ã‚¢ã®ä¸–界を変ãˆãŸã‚ˆã†ã«ã€ã€Œå·¥æ¥ã®å€‹äººåŒ–ã€ã¨ã€Œãƒãƒ¼ãƒ‰ã‚¦ã‚§ã‚¢ãƒãƒƒã‚ングå¯èƒ½ãªæ©Ÿå™¨ã®æ™®åŠã€ã«ã‚ˆã£ã¦å¤‰ã‚るテクノãƒã‚¸ãƒ¼ã¨ç§ãŸã¡ã¨ã®é–¢ä¿‚ã‚’ä¼ãˆã‚‹ã®ãŒã€ŽMakeã€ã§ã™ï¼ˆè‹±èªžç‰ˆã¯å£åˆŠèªŒã¨ã—ã¦ç™ºè¡Œã•ã‚Œã¦ã„ã¾ã™ãŒã€æ—¥æœ¬èªžç‰ˆã¯è‹±èªžç‰ˆã‚’å†æ§‹æˆã—ãŸæ›¸ç±ã‚·ãƒªãƒ¼ã‚ºã¨ã—ã¦åˆŠè¡Œã•ã‚Œã¾ã™ï¼‰ã€‚ãã®ä¸å¿ƒã‚’ãªã™ã®ã¯å®Ÿéš›ã«æ‰‹ã‚’å‹•ã‹ã—ã¦æ¥½ã—む「プãƒã‚¸ã‚§ã‚¯ãƒˆã€ã®ç´¹ä»‹ã€‚安価ãªæ料やä¸å¤è£½å“を利用ã—ã¦ã€å®Ÿç”¨çš„ãªã€Œãƒ¢ãƒŽã€ã‚’作る方法をステップãƒã‚¤ã‚¹ãƒ†ãƒƒãƒ—ã§è§£èª¬ã—ã¾ã™ã€‚ä»–ã«ã€å…ˆé€²çš„ãªå–り組ã¿ã‚’è¡Œã£ã¦ã„ã‚‹ç ”ç©¶è€…ã®ã‚¤ãƒ³ã‚¿ãƒ“ューやã€ã‚¬ãƒ¬ãƒ¼ã‚¸ã§ç”Ÿã¿å‡ºã•ã‚Œã‚‹ãƒ¦ãƒ‹ãƒ¼ã‚¯ãªã‚¬ã‚¸ã‚§ãƒƒãƒˆã‚’紹介ã™ã‚‹ã‚³ãƒ©ãƒ ã€ãƒ†ã‚£ãƒ ・オライリーをã¯ã˜ã‚充実ã—ãŸåŸ·ç†é™£ã®ã‚¨ãƒƒã‚»ã‚¤ãªã©èªã¿ç‰©è¨˜äº‹ã‚‚豊富ã«æŽ²è¼‰ã—ã¦ã„ã¾ã™ã€‚æ´—ç·´ã•ã‚ŒãŸèªŒé¢ãƒ‡ã‚¶ã‚¤ãƒ³ã‚‚特徴ã§ã™ã€‚日本語版Vol.1ã®ãƒ—ãƒã‚¸ã‚§ã‚¯ãƒˆã§ã¯ã€Œå‡§ã«ã‚«ãƒ¡ãƒ©ã‚’ã¶ã‚‰ä¸‹ã’ã¦ç©ºä¸æ’®å½±ã‚’è¡Œã†æ–¹æ³•ã€ã€Œãƒ“デオデッã‚ã‚’æ”¹é€ ã—ã¦çŒ«ã®çµ¦é¤Œæ©Ÿã‚’作る方法ã€ã€Œæ°´é“管ã§ä½œã‚‹ã‚«ãƒ¡ãƒ©ã‚¹ã‚¿ãƒ“ライザーã€ãªã©ã‚’å–り上ã’ã¾ã™ã€‚“ – Link & pre-order.

Quick translation.

We are fast approaching an era where “things” can easily be made with no specialist knowledge, and the technology to do so cheaply available, like modern PCs. Just as open source has changed the world of software, the way that the personalisation of industry and the prevalence of machinary allowing hardware hacking will change technology and our relation to it is shown to us by “Make” (originally published as a quarterly publication, Japanese edition reproducing as a collectable book series). The series centres on introducing projects that you can try for yourself, giving step by step instructions how to make real “things” with just cheap materials and second hand goods. There are also interviews with researchers of cutting edge technology, a column introducing unique garage-built gadgets, and a vast stock of essays and articles by established writers such as Tim O’Reilly. It also features a new sophisticated design. The projects appearing in volume 1 (Japan edition) include how to make a camera-kite for aerial photography, how to adapt a VCR into an automatic cat feeder, how to make a video stabiliser from a water pipe and much much more.
What would be the content differences between the US and Japanese versions of Make?
