Jason Bush in Forbes suggests that Russia's recovery may be buoyant: 'while the Russian government is still cautiously forecasting 2 percent GDP growth in 2010, many independent economists are already predicting growth of as much as 5 percent next year'.  Oleg Deripaska's heavily-indebted RusAl has made a deal to sell 1.68 million tons of aluminum to Chinese state corporation Norinco over seven years.  Renault COO Patrick Pelata has told the press that whilst the French car giant will support bankruptcy-skirting Avtovaz, the company will not supply the cash booster shot that the Russians allegedly want.  Corporate loan portfolios and overdue corporate loans fell slightly in September, as the ruble gained in value.  The Russian Gold Industrialists Union has announced that gold production rose 14.6% in the first nine months of 2009, year-on-year, an increase they attributed to a number ...

In all actuality, at the present time, uWink is indeed just a restaurant company with less-than-impressive quarterly numbers. However, it is not strictly in the foodservice industry that uWink intends to make its mark. The company has conceptualized and begun development of an interactive restaurant dynamic that could change the way people dine out.

The company plans to begin selling and licensing its proprietary point of sale (POS) software, as well as implement it in uWink restaurants. Using a table-top touchscreen interface, patrons can order food and drinks, and pay by credit or debit cards swiped right at the table. In addition, uWink’s software includes 70 single and multi-player games that can be likened to popular touchscreen sensations such as Megatouch. Access to digital content like video and music is also part of the uWink system.

The software has been undergoing market testing in the company’s prototype restaurant facilities, located

This is getting close to a week old, but is still quite hilarious, even more so with Stallone's signature bad timing of taking a huge ad contract in wartime. MOSCOW (Reuters) - Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone, mighty destroyer of Soviet opponents in the "Rambo" and "Rocky" movies, now plans to advertise Russian vodka. Russian vodka producer Synergy said on Friday it had signed a one-year contract with Stallone, who will appear in television and newspaper advertisements for the vodka brand Russian Ice, starting September 1. Sources valued the deal at $1 million. Stallone -- whose film character John Rambo killed Soviet troops by the dozen in Afghanistan and whose Rocky Balboa humiliated Soviet boxer Ivan Drago -- will advertise the product under the slogan: "There is a bit of Russian in all of us." "The advertising campaign concept was based on the ...

I don't mean to turn this into a Hollywood tabloid blog, but I wanted to show how authoritarian the Chinese government is. In fact, I think twice before I say anything about the Chinese government. Sharon Stone made the insensitive remarks about the Sichuan earthquake being 'karma' for government poor treatment of Tibet. Not only has Christian Dior fired Stone as their representative in Asia, she was removed from the celebrity invitation list from the Shanghai Film Festival as well as having all her movies permanently banned from being played in China.
