  • Lenovo begins $200M buyback of Lenovo Mobile

    Lenovo begins $200M buyback of Lenovo Mobile

Although Lenovo says its focus will be on the Chinese market, don't be surprised when you see Lenovo branded handsets headed to downtown stores or your favorite high-street shops -- assuming the deal passes shareholder approval, of course.

    In China: Acer, Lenovo and Asustek voluntarily ship PCs with filtering software

    Posted on July 23, 2009 | No Comments
    Green Dam, a filtering software that's supposed to protect China's population from harmful content (and can be called a piece of garbage on more than one level), seems to trigger anticipatory obedience (you could also call it business sense, I guess) within some PC companies. Even though the Chinese government postponed its plans to make the software mandatory with all PC shipments in the country from July 1, Acer, Asustek and Lenovo already bundle their hardware with Green Dam.
