China's premier called "expanding consumer demand" one of his priorities for the upcoming year. The move comes after a decade in which building vast infrastructure projects and boosting the country's exports took center stage in the Chinese economy, Reuters reports. Last year, China's gross domestic product (GDP), or annual economic output, grew by 9.2%. In 2010 gross domestic product grew 10.4%.

"I wish to stress that in setting a slightly lower GDP growth rate, we hope... to guide people in all sectors to focus their work on accelerating the transformation of the pattern of economic development and making economic development more sustainable and efficient," Premier Wen Jiabao explained.

In the internet sector, the number of people online in China stood at 513 million by the end of 2011, according to a recent report from eMarketer. Although the report predicts growth to slow, with the internet reaching a majority of people only by 2015, China still has the world's largest population exposed to online ads.

Despite a lack of Facebook, China's social networking population reached nearly 257 million in 2011. Meanwhile half of internet users have been attracted by local weibo and other domestic social networking sites, with the proportion expected to rise to nearly two-thirds by 2014.

Realty Vision goes Hybrid Efficient Style—A New Way of Doing Real Estate Business Alive and Well in the Silicon Valley

PITTSBURGH, March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --In anticipation of a busy residential real estate market this spring, Prudential Preferred Realty recently introduced a new feature on its website that will help match prospective home buyers with potentially compatible Prudential agents. The Prudential Preferred Realty Agent Compatibility Matcher provides people with an automated and interesting way to find an agent who matches their unique preferences.

"Compatibility is an important part of any successful relationship," said Debra Arrisher, director of marketing for Prudential Preferred Realty. "We hope that this online feature helps potential buyers, particularly those who don't already have an agent relationship, find agents who have similar styles, common interests or real estate expertise that matches their needs."

The Agent Compatibility Matcher works in a similar way to an online dating site. It uses an algorithm to rank a customer's preferences with the self-authored profiles of the more than 250 agents who are in the matching system.

People interested in trying the free service can visit http://www.prudentialpreferredrealty.com and click on "Agent Compatibility Matcher." They will be prompted to complete a brief multiple-choice survey online, where they will provide their interests, real estate needs and tastes. They then will receive a list of potential "matches" profiles of Prudential Preferred Realty agents who might be a fit.

"We know that the vast majority of people start their home searches online, and they continue to rely on the expertise of their agents to guide them in their home buying journey," Arrisher said. "We feel this is a unique, customer-centric approach to helping Internet-savvy buyers solve their challenge of finding the right agent, while also highlighting our company's best asset -- our professional agents."

Brian Cummings, a Prudential Preferred Realty sales associate and associate broker in the Rt. 19 South office, was the first agent to be contacted by a customer through the Agent Compatibility Matcher. Cummings and his wife Karen Cummings, who also is a Prudential Preferred Realty sales associate, met with the customer and now have listed his home for sale.

"It was nice to know off the bat what common ground you might have with a potential client, and vice versa," Cummings said. "We're excited about the potential of the Agent Compatibility Matcher and are looking forward to working with our new customer to sell his home for the best price possible."

Ron Croushore, Prudential Preferred Realty owner and CEO and current President of the West Penn Multi-List, Inc., added: "Home listings, sales and average sale price are on the rise in Southwestern Pennsylvania. We're pleased to build on Prudential Preferred Realty's already robust website to better serve our customers and support our agents, just in time for what we expect to be a busy spring and summer real estate market in our region."

Prudential Preferred Realty employs 120 employees and more than 600 residential sales associates in Southwestern Pennsylvania. It is part of the national Prudential network, yet is locally owned and operated. Prudential Preferred Realty's professional agents have been helping Western Pennsylvanians with their real estate challenges for generations. Visit http://www.prudentialpreferredrealty.com or call 800-860-SOLD to learn more about how Prudential Preferred Realty's agents can help with your real estate challenges.

Apple unveils new iPad, adds Retina Display Linked by Thom Holwerda on 03/07/12 22:59 UTC And it was that time of the year again - Apple held one of its product announcements. This one focussed on the iPad mostly, and while some will call it a disappointment merely because virtually everything had already been leaked, I'm still in awe over the fact the newly announced iPad has a 2048x1536 display. My mind is blown. 0Read More 64 Comment(s) Windows 8's desktop mode: Microsoft's 'Classic' Linked by Thom Holwerda on 03/06/12 23:27 UTC As you may have seen, David's been taking care of OSNews for a few days because I'm quite busy with work. Still, there's one thing I'd like to talk about: the desktop mode in Windows 8. I wish I could've added this to the first impressions article, but I only arrived at this conclusion yesterday: desktop mode in Windows 8 is Microsoft's equivalent of Mac OS X's Classic mode. 0Read More 88 Comment(s) US government claims right to seize any .com domain Linked by David Adams on 03/06/12 16:23 UTC If you run a web site or service that runs afoul of US law, and that site is hosted overseas, then the US legal system doesn't have much recourse, right? Wrong. Because the .com, .net, and .org top level domains are managed by a US company, the government can come to Verisign with a court order and seize your domain, effectively shutting you down. And because of a quirk of internet history that made the US-controlled domains the de-facto standard for web sites, this is a situation that's quite possibly permanent. 4Read More 27 Comment(s) "Deep" layoffs at Yahoo Linked by David Adams on 03/05/12 21:26 UTC I ran across a business news story about Yahoo's impending layoffs today, and if you're a deep-into-the-internet person like me, it certainly comes as no surprise to read yet again that Yahoo is on the skids. In fact, you're more likely to be surprised to learn that Yahoo has more than 14,000 employees and made something like $6 billion in revenue last year. Yahoo ceased to be relevant a long time ago, and even the Yahoo services that still get some love, like Flickr, seem to be tainted by association. But the question I asked myself when I read the article was, "why didn't Yahoo become a technology leader?" 1Read More 22 Comment(s) First impressions: Windows 8 consumer preview Linked by Thom Holwerda on 03/02/12 16:16 UTC Wednesday was the big day for Microsoft - the largest overhaul of its operating system since Windows 95 (heck, I'd argue the overhaul is far larger than Windows 95) went into consumer preview. I've been running it on my Asus ZenBook since its release, and in all honesty, it's not as arduous as I expected. I'm not planning on doing a full review, but I do want to mention a number of things - both positive and negative - that stood out to me. 5Read More 108 Comment(s) Microsoft up to its old tricks with Windows 8 versions Linked by David Adams on 03/02/12 15:55 UTC, submitted by sawboss By all early reports, Windows 8 is going to be a good operating system. Microsoft's hegemony may be crumbling in a mobile computing onslaught, but its core empire remains undimmed. However, whereas Windows 7 had three versions, Windows 8 will apparently be ballooning to 9 versions. 0Read More 79 Comment(s) Raspberry Pi launch turns into frenzy Linked by Thom Holwerda on 02/29/12 9:47 UTC This morning, I experienced the nerd equivalent of a Black Friday $50 iPad sale. At 07:00 CET, the first batch of the much-anticipated Raspberry Pi went on sale, and while Raspberry Pi itself was very properly prepared, the two large international retailers actually selling the device weren't - despite warnings from Raspberry Pi about the enormous amount of traffic that would come their way, the two sites crumbled to dust within seconds. There's good news too - the cheaper model A has seen its RAM doubled at no additional cost. 9Read More 104 Comment(s) How to Integrate SATA and IDE Drives Linked by Howard Fosdick on 02/29/12 0:56 UTC Current computers use SATA disk drives. Pentium IV's and earlier computers used the IDE drive standards. How can you intermix SATA and IDE disk drives? This article discusses the options. It is the next in my series of articles on computer refurbishing. 0Read More 15 Comment(s) Genode 12.02 released, now with open development process Linked by nfeske on 02/28/12 11:51 UTC The just released version 12.02 of the Genode OS Framework takes the first steps to carry out the plan to turn the framework into a general-purpose OS for the daily use by its developers until the end of the year. It features a new ACPI driver, the first bits of a device-driver manager, support for using the fork syscall in GNU programs, and a PDF rendering engine. The most significant point of this release, however, is the way it was conducted. It represents the first version carried out using a completely open development process. 4Read More 8 Comment(s) Mozilla, Telefonica announce Boot to Gecko partnership Linked by Thom Holwerda on 02/27/12 12:22 UTC And even more news from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Mozilla has announced a partnership with Telefonica and Qualcomm, which will bring Mozilla's Boot to Gecko HTML5-based mobile interface to devices later his year. This is a huge boon for the fully open source environment. 3Read More 30 Comment(s)
