So the sun has arrived and now we are all sticky but grab a rice dumpling some wine and let's get down to the water to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. The 2011 China Duanwu Cultural Festival is going to be held in Jiaxing, East China's Zhejiang Province from 3rd to 7th June. Or you can just take three days off relax and do nothing.

In case China was worried about its status on technological innovation, the country can take solace when compared to North Korea's new 'People's PC.' A DPRK statement on state TV announced that the laptop shown above is being built in North Korea although it is an exact copy of the $99 Siemens 'Sylvania' netbook.

The US has tried in many ways to cash in on the Chinese Internet scene but all have failed so far, such as Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, because of censorship issues. This latest attempt by a group of Chinese Americans to sue China Internet search giant Baidu for $16million through a US court for blocking their pro-democracy speeches, will probably have no greater success.

Just when we thought that someone in the Chinese censorship office had lost the post it note reminder: "ban Skype pretty soon," Skypers are faced with a new dilemma: Microsoft have snatched the company up, closing a deal recently to buy it for $8.5 billion. The question is, the sum is 400 times the operating income of Skype in 2010, so what are Microsoft going to get out of the deal?
