PARIS, FRANCE, June 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Every year, Parc de la Villette on the outskirts of Paris plays host to a month of film screenings.
However, the difference here is that the cinema is outdoors, meaning you can enjoy lounging on the grass as you enjoy the programme of classic films and modern blockbusters on show on any evening between July 19th and August 21st.
The fact that this has become an annual event gives you some idea of its popularity. The park is a lovely setting, home to the entertaining Cite des Sciences museum and the striking Geode theatre.
"Cinema en plein air" is an extremely family-friendly event, both in the convivial atmosphere and the fact that attendance is free.
Many films are shown in English, while the park is served by two Metro stations, Porte de la Villette and Porte de Pantin.
This would be an ideal way to spend an evening if you are visiting Paris, and Hotels-paris.co.uk offers plenty of cheap hotels to use while you are here, including the pleasant Helvetia.

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 ...

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 ...
