Microsoft Office 2010 saves 2 weeks of work time a year
 |
Arguably the best way to satisfy all related parties in economics is to improve productivity ― it typically leads to better bottom lines for corporations, higher payrolls for employees and faster growth rates for the nation.
The problem is that it is not so easy to substantially jack up productivity despite huge investments. Here is a good option ― Microsoft says its Office 2010 suites increases productivity by 3.5 percent on average.
Suppose the claims are true. That means an employee using the newly-launched office package will be able to save as much as two weeks every year compared to those not using the combination of programs.

President Lee Myung-bak pledged Wednesday to provide full support for G20 member nations to help narrow differences as they start working-group meetings in preparation for the Seoul summit slated for November.
“Korea will spare no effort to mediate between developed, developing and underdeveloped countries,” Lee said at the first G20 sherpa meeting for the Seoul summit, which has been underway here since Monday and will end Thursday. “All Korean people, including me, are fully committed to ensuring a successful hosting of the summit.”
Encouraging the participants, Lee stressed that the working-group talks will pave the way for higher-level consultations in the coming months, according to presidential spokeswoman Kim Hee-jung.
“The success of the Seoul summit depends on you. Your role is very important,” Lee was quoted as saying.

Allies wrap up joint military drill
South Korea and the U.S. on Wednesday wrapped up their four-day military exercise, which was conducted in the East Sea to send a warning message to North Korea and deter future provocations.
The maritime and air readiness exercise, dubbed “Invincible Spirit,” included antisubmarine drills, naval live-fire exercises, aerial training and computer-based simulation drills.
Some of the allies’ core military assets, including the aircraft carrier USS George Washington and four F-22 stealth fighter jets, were mobilized in a display of their combined military might against the North that the allies hold responsible for the March sinking of the corvette Cheonan.
“This joint exercise has sent a strong warning regarding the North Korean provocation and presented a firm resolve of the South Korea-U.S. alliance not to tolerate any kind of (future) provocations,” Rear Admiral Kim Kyung-sik, assistant chief of staff at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters.
“The exercise, which covered a variety of operational facets, presented the combined operational posture to prepare against the enemy’s asymmetrical provocation and for a full-scale war. We also engaged in drills to deal with infiltrations and attacks by all types of North Korean submarines.”
The joint exercise focused particularly on antisubmarine maneuvers as it was arranged following the naval disaster that took the lives of 46 sailors. A Seoul-led multinational team concluded in May that the 1,200-ton vessel was torpedoed by a North Korean submarine. The North denies its culpability.
Upon the beginning of the exercise, the North threatened to “open a retaliatory holy war.” According to the U.S.-funded Radio Free Asia, the North has put its military and people on heightened alert.
The exercise was initially reported to take place in the West Sea where the Cheonan sank. However, apparently considering China’s strong objections, the allies decided to hold the exercise in the East Sea.
