- tech
I am anything but a computer guru. Just the opposite. I know only what is necessary to do everyday computer chores. If anything terribly complicated comes up, I cry for help. That’s why this post is, at least in part, out of my comfort zone because it deals with the spy malware known as Flame.

According to yesterday's Economist, since his election to the presidency Yanukovych "has mauled his country's ...
Xpat Opinion: Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán Didn't Give Up On Chinese Hungarian Alliance
- 2 May 2012 9:00 AM

As I'm looking through my files it seems as if almost nothing has happened in Chinese-Hungarian relations in the last six months or so.

After that not much could be heard about major Chinese investments in Hungary. The only things I can recall are the ...
