The facility will include a production center designed to manufacture 10 million PCs per year. Desktops computers will be first produced at the site, then eventually notebooks, servers and mobile Internet products.
The project also calls for the building of a new research and development center focused on services and devices for the mobile Internet. About 1,000 employees will work at the research and development center.

How Social Media Changes Everything*
May 31, 2011, 02:56:12 GMT by Aaron Wall
Bloggers as Media Have you ever noticed that a lot of blogs want to be seen as being the same as the media? And media companies are responding by hiring bloggers . But why is emulating the media so exciting? After all, the same media is so big, bloated & redundant that it is buried in debt . How is it possible that a humor blog network built on open source software would ever need to raise $30 million ? The problem is that it is hard to stay different and operate at scale .

Increase Your Efficiency by Using Multiple Web Browsers
May 29, 2011, 22:49:39 GMT by Aaron Wall
One of my favorite approaches to save time online is to use multiple web browsers for different purposes. It allows you to combine speed + reliability with also having quick access to tons of valuable tools & data. Firefox I set up Firefox fully loaded with bookmarks and extensions ( all our free & premium ones , User Agent Switcher , Web Developer , Greasemonkey , Roboform , Colorzilla ), but realize that as a result it will often be a bit slower & crash more frequently.

Google Edges Bing For Visual Attention
May 29, 2011, 13:39:57 GMT by Mike Sachoff
The top three paid positions on Google attract more visual attention than the top three links on Bing, according to a new report from research firm User Centric. Study outcomes showed a comparable number of participants viewing top sponsored links (~90 percent) across both search engines. However, these participants spent 22 percent more time looking at Google's top sponsored links than Bing's.
Comparing sponsored links on top to those on the right in general, the study found the "eye hit rate" on the top to be at least three times higher and gaze time to be at least five times longer than on the sponsored links on the right.
Before making the first click, participants spent 27 percent more time looking at organic search results on Google than on Bing.
"While more gaze time is good for sponsored results, the opposite is true for organic results," said Aga Bojko, User Centric's Chief Scientist.
"Taking longer to make a decision and scanning more results may suggest lower perceived search results relevancy on Google. According to past research, users tend to scan search results until they find the first suitable link to click, so more time spent on Google could mean it took longer to find a link worth clicking."
