Boom In Shadow Financing Exacts High Toll In China hide caption At least 80 business owners have abandoned factories like this one in Wenzhou, China's entrepreneurial capital, because they have run up exorbitant debts to the city's loan sharks and underground lenders. Frank Langfitt/NPR In recent weeks, at least 80 business owners have fled Wenzhou in eastern China and gone into hiding because they can't pay crushing debts to the city's empire of underground lending firms and loan sharks. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao became so concerned that he flew to Wenzhou earlier in October to try to keep the problem from spreading.

Groupe Gorge 3d printing Freedom Of Creation | Pioneers in 3D Printed Designs The future is amazing, and Microsoft has video to prove it This might be as close as we’re going to get to a time machine. Unless they’re working on that, too. Microsoft this morning is premiering a new video that shows how the company believes technology is poised to evolve over the next five to 10 years, based on the trends its researchers and engineers are seeing in software, devices, displays, sensors, processors and intelligent systems. It’s a follow-up to the popular “Microsoft 2019″ video, developed in 2008 and first shown publicly in 2009. As the new video opens, special eyeglasses translate audio into English in real-time for a business traveler in Johannesburg. And on and on from there, making our modern-day digital breakthroughs seem like mere baby steps on the road to a far more spectacular future. [Follow-up: Microsoft's vision, and the myth of the carefree gadget.] In this vision of the future world, computers will do more to make us productive, but not just in the traditional sense.
Robocular | Robocular 3D Scanner – the 3D Scanner for everyone Dragon Innovation Are American workers in a race against the machine? | The Lookout Is technology worsening America's jobs crisis? That's the argument of a new book, Race Against The Machine: How the Digital Revolution is Accelerating Innovation, Driving Productivity, and Irreversibly Transforming Employment and the Economy, by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee. The authors contend that advances in technology have reduced the economy's ability to create new jobs for humans. Yahoo News spoke Thursday to McAfee (right) -- a top research scientist at the Center for Digital Business in the MIT Sloan School of Management -- about why a busboy might have less anxiety about his job security than a lawyer should, how we can make the automation trend work for us, not against us, and why this all this is good news for Lady Gaga.YN: What types of jobs are currently being affected most by the development of new technology? AM: The classic examples have to do with customer interfaces. Computers are just improving by leaps and bounds in their ability to do that stuff. AM: .
