The Morning After: Half of Japan's businesses are still using Internet Explorer
Microsoft has been reminding everyone willing to listen that the end of Internet Explorer is nigh, but many businesses in Japan seemingly did not take heed.
Almost half are reportedly still using the browser. According to Nikkei, many of those companies put off making the switch to other browsers, whether that’s Microsoft’s own Edge, or others. This could cause chaos for months across the country.
Many were trapped using Internet Explorer because of systems their clients used, while others are using the browser to handle things like employee attendance and expenses. Over a fifth of the respondents didn't have a plan for how to move away from the now-unsupported browser.
Japan does have a tendency to cling to older tech. The country’s love of technology, robots and gadgets – have you seen this toaster? – is balanced out by its insistence on fax machines and the dogged determination of its feature phones during the smartphone boom.

New research reveals Central Asia, rather than China, as origin of the Black Death
A study by a team of international researchers has traced the origins of the Black Death to a site in Central Asia, countering previous theories that the bubonic plague emerged in China. Published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, the study drew on the previous work of Russian historian Phil Slavin, who linked the disease’s origins to a spike of deaths in a town in Central Asia from 1338 to 1339. In their new study, the scientists extracted DNA from the teeth of seven bodies exhumed from the Kara-Djigach Cemetery by Lake Issyk Kulin in modern-day Kyrgyzstan.
