Windows 8 review
It's unusual, to say the least, for us to spend a year with a product before publishing our review. In the case of Windows 8, we've written thousands of words already, starting with our first hands-on in September of 2011, followed by deep dives on the Developer Preview, Consumer Preview, Release Preview and RTM build. Even our readers have had ample time to get acquainted with the OS -- it's been available as a public download since February. And yet, we've never tested a final version of the software running on brand new, made-for-Windows-8 hardware. With the OS now on sale (alongside dozens of new PCs), it's finally time for us to double back and revisit everything we've previously written in the form of a final, comprehensive review. And what a challenging assignment this was: it's hard enough to give an OS the full review treatment without burying the reader in minute details. It's even tougher when the software was built for so many different kinds of hardware. Combining … [Read more...] about Windows 8 review
Vietnam 2006 GDP growth rate pegged at 8%
Vietnam scaled down its 2006 economic growth target due to bird flu and other challenges to the economy, concluded parliament after its long-month session Tuesday. National Assembly deputies previously discussed targets as high as 8.5-9%, but reached a consensus on the gross domestic product (GDP) target, lowering their expectations to settle at 8% as suggested by the central government. The NA resolution sets out other targets for next year, citing overall investment capital should account for 38.6% of the GDP. The country's total export revenue is targeted to increase by 16.4% year-on-year. Central government policy promotes keeping the 2006 inflation rate below economic growth. Also, the central government wants to ensure sustainable development of real estate, finance, and information technology markets and speed up the entrance into the World Trade Organization, said the NA resolution. According to the resolution, the parliament will adopt bills and draft … [Read more...] about Vietnam 2006 GDP growth rate pegged at 8%
SOS: many industrial zones, few nursery schools
VietNamNet Bridge - Southern provinces have been witnessing the impressive economic growth in recent years. However, it seems that the localities are too busy building industrial zones, while not paying attention to developing nursery schools."I watched TV some days ago and I heard that a babysitter maltreated a baby. I feel worried about my child," said Nguyen Thi Nga, a worker in Bien Hoa 2 Industrial Zone in Dong Nai province. However, it seems that Nga and many other workers in the industrial zones in southern provinces do not have other choice. They still have to bring their children to private run nursery classes instead of schools, because there are not many schools in the localities. Old women now work as baby-sitters Nga, who comes from Thanh Hoa, is now working for a factory in Bien Hoa 2 Industrial Zone. Nga lives with her husband and child in a rented room in Long Binh Ward. She brings her child, only 8-month old, to a class run by Nam La, a 60 year-old woman. The … [Read more...] about SOS: many industrial zones, few nursery schools
