Since the actual beginning in Europe and the USA season Christmas / New Year holidays flow of business news from the IT industry immediately dropped to a very small pond. Because our business review at this time would be markedly less than normal. However, a few noteworthy news, I have managed to find.
The Chinese company Lenovo to Build Plant in Poland - in Legnitskoy special economic zone. The new production of a total area of 30,000 m2 will be launched in the third quarter of next year and will employ 1000 people.

The ultimate user would have to pay more in a few times. Falling prices of memory chips positively affect the value of MP3 players, digital cameras and other Bugs with the internal flash memory.
