China's CO2 gas emissions per capita are about a third of that from the US. If you consider that China's industry probably contributes significantly more than their automobiles, it shouldn't be hard to realise that the summary was probably right. In America almost every family can afford cars. Not true in most Asian societies. (Yes there are exceptions, such as Singapore, hence I said most.)

The main advantage of clouds, where you can access your data anywhere, can be just as easily achieved by a home server, for example. And nowadays, just about any computer, even a Intel Atom PC drawing less power than a tungsten bulb would work as a file server. Granted, it takes expertise, but setting up a basic home server can easily be automated. The only reason cloud computing is flourishing instead is hype.

Lenovo To Launch Chinese Gaming Platform Called Ebox 71

It will be called the Ebox, and will be specifically designed to recognize shapes and movement without the need for a dedicated game controller, not unlike Microsoft's Kinect."
