Sundar Pichai: An Inbox that works for you
Google - October 22, 2014 - Today, we're introducing something new. It's called Inbox. Years in the making, Inbox is by the same people who brought you Gmail, but it's not Gmail: it's a completely different type of inbox, designed to focus on what really matters. With this evolution comes new challenges: we get more email now than ever, important information is buried inside messages, and our most important tasks can slip through the cracks - especially when we're working on our phones. For many of us, dealing with email has become a daily chore that distracts from what we really need to do - rather than helping us get those things done.

Ryszard Florek, prezes firmy FAKRO: Nasza pogoń za Zachodem to mit
Warszawa - 28 października 2014 - "Gdy porównujemy wszystkie pieniądze, jakie otrzymujemy z UE do całego naszego bogactwa, czyli PKB, jest to jak jeden do sześćdziesięciu. 98 procent naszego bogactwa wytwarzamy sami, a tylko 2 procent można przypisać transferom z Unii. Korzyści z UE to na pewno przewidywalne prawo, porządek, otwarte rynki, zaufanie inwestorów, wzrost prestiżu Polski. Ale nie powinniśmy przeceniać pieniędzy z Brukseli. Nie gonimy już od pięciu lat najbogatszych krajów Zachodu. W tym czasie polskie PKB na osobę wzrosło o 4,2 proc., a na przykład w Niemczech o 8 procent. Korea rozwija się dwa razy szybciej. Co więcej, w ostatnich pięciu latach stanęliśmy. Musimy się wspólnie zastanowić, co z tym zrobić. Bo dotychczasowy wzrost opierał się na prostych rezerwach - taniej sile roboczej, imporcie know-how, kapitału, odrabianiu konsumpcyjnych zaległości. To się właśnie kończy. Wydaje mi się, że rząd ma w swoim otoczeniu dużo doradców powiązanych z zagranicznym kapitałem. Dlatego nasze propozycje pozostają na papierze" - stwierdził Ryszard Florek, prezes firmy FAKRO.
