PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC, June 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) An exhibition at Prague's National Museum is dedicated to the memory of the 19th century Czech composer Antonim Dvorak.
It has been 170 years since he was born - he passed away in 1904 - and this display aims to dig deeper into his life and work as part of the celebrations, using multimedia to engage with visitors.
The show was due to be on display until February 29th 2012, but the museum is now set to close for reconstruction work for about four years from July 7th 2011, so anyone keen to see it needs to act fast.
In a statement, the organisers noted: "It presents Dvorak as an individualistic, humble, as well as hot-tempered man, a deeply religious Catholic and, last but not least, a loving father."
Opening hours are from 10:00 to 18:00 local time, except for every first Tuesday of the month when the building is closed and the first Wednesday when it is open until 20:00.
The extensive construction work planned at the National Museum will repair several key areas, double the amount of exhibition space available and create new facilities for visitors.
It is due to reopen in June 2015.

Mac vs. PC - Which Keyboard Are You Tapping? in African Business Review
2011-06-22
Ultimately, this boils down to operating systems - what is now the Mac OS X compared to Windows 7.
To be politically correct, this is a generalisation to an extent. Firstly, the term 'PC' stands for a personal computer, so technically includes any brand of computer or laptop. Also, because Macs use Intel chips, they can now run Windows if purchased separately, whereas the Mac OS remains exclusive to Mac computers.
But referring to a PC will, for most people, conjure up images of a typical desktop computer run on Windows. Like any argument worth its salt, there are ...

Is the Google Chromebook Good For Business Users? With Business Review Europe
2011-06-22
The new Google Chromebook was officially unveiled last month, and for Google, it was largely a quiet affair. Whenever Google, Facebook or Apple launches a product it generally takes over social networks and websites around the world; every other web page you read will have something related to it and Google introducing their first ever full OS should have done just that. However, after being in the pipeline for so long, it caused a mere ripple in the pond we call the internet.
Will Chromebooks be the next big thing for business? Only time will tell. Without solid networks ...
