Apple hit by boycott call over worker abuses in China | Technology | The Observer

by night.kame

Earlier this month Apple took the unusual step of releasing a list of all the firms in its worldwide supply chain as part of its 2011 audit of human rights conditions at factories where it has partnerships.However, the company's own list made for grim reading. It revealed that a staggering 62% of the 229 facilities that it was involved with were not in compliance with Apple's 60-hour maximum working week policy. Almost a third had problem with hazardous waste.Cook insisted in his email that Apple did not turn a blind eye to conditions in its supplier network. But he did warn that the firm was likely to discover more problems. "We will continue to dig deeper, and we will undoubtedly find more issues," he said.

Tim Cook, CEO actuel d'Apple, est responsable de toute la partie production depuis son arrivée en 1998. La fermeture des usines Apple : c'est Cook. La transformation d'Apple, fabricant informatique, en un bureau d'études couplé à une agence de publicité : c'est Cook. L'iPhone 4 blanc avec un an de retard : c'est encore Cook. Depuis 10 ans, Cook a joué la carte "sweatshops" et engrangé les profits ; ça commence à se voir, mais ça n'est plus un problème : l'argent est là, n'a jamais été distribué aux actionnaires, il peut s'acheter une virginité tel le mafieux versant son obole pour la restauration du presbytère.

Cambodia Tuk-Tuk Drivers Hit a Bump | News | Khmer-English

by karlcow

While demand is sinking, costs for tuk-tuk drivers continue. Sambath has recently invested in a new tuk-tuk and motor, that cost him close to $2,000. Drivers are also required to pay the government $5 annually to renew their operating licences.According to Sambath, living expenses in Siem Reap have risen, especially in the areas of housing and food, making it more difficult for the working class to make ends meet. He said more than a third of drivers' salaries go to room rentals, as most of them come from villages in search of better job opportunities in Siem Reap.

Exclusive: Adobe ceases development on mobile browser Flash, refocuses efforts on HTML5 | ZDNet

by srcmax
Sources close to Adobe that have been briefed on the company’s future development plans have revealed this forthcoming announcement to ZDNet: Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version or device configurations. Some of our source code licensees may opt to continue working on and releasing their own implementations. We will continue to support the current Android and PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates.

Apple, HP and Dell among companies responsible for 'electronic sweatshops', claims report

by night.kame, 2 comments

"Left to themselves, multinational companies and Chinese manufacturers will continue to pursue business and labour practices that ultimately abuse Chinese workers," the report said, noting that the entire industry is unregulated and that Apple only pays £3.99 to manufacture a £600 iPhone, leaving factories little option but to make profits by exploiting workers.

Il est fort ce Steve, il arrivait même à les payer en livre sterling !

Push Pop Press — About Us

by HK & 1 other
Push Pop Press acquired by Facebook Last year Push Pop Press set off to re-imagine the book. We created a new way of publishing and exploring text, images, audio, video and interactive graphics, then teamed up with Melcher Media and Al Gore to create a new kind of book. The result is Al Gore's Our Choice, which was released earlier this year. The response has been incredible. Tech columnist David Pogue of The New York Times summed it up by saying: “this is one of the most elegant, fluid, impressive apps you've ever seen. It's a showpiece for the new world of touch-screen gadgets.” Now we're taking our publishing technology and everything we've learned and are setting off to help design the world's largest book, Facebook. Although Facebook isn't planning to start publishing digital books, the ideas and technology behind Push Pop Press will be integrated with Facebook, giving people even richer ways to share their stories. With millions of people publishing to Facebook each day, we think it's going to be a great home for Push Pop Press. Al Gore's Our Choice will remain available for purchase, and we've decided that our future profits from the book will be donated to The Climate Reality Project. There are no plans to continue publishing new titles or building out our publishing platform that was in private beta. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported and expressed interest in Push Pop Press. Both Push Pop Press and Facebook share a passion for improving the way we share and explore ideas and we couldn't be more excited about what the future holds. Mike Matas Kimon Tsinteris Co-founders, Push Pop Press

Daring Fireball Linked List: iPhones and iPads Drive Softbank’s Explosive Q1 Profits

by night.kame

The evidence continues to mount that the Japanese hate the iPhone.

Si l'article lié par Gruber avait été anti-Apple, Gruber l'aurait démonté pour la faiblesse de son analyse statistique, l'absence totale de chiffres fiables, et sa segmentation hasardeuse du marché de la téléphone. L'accumulation de faits continue, montrant toute la probité intellectuelle de Gruber.

On using h1 for all heading levels in HTML5 | 456 Berea Street

by Monique

In the meantime my advice is to use HTML5 sectioning content elements when they are appropriate, but continue to use h1 - h6 for headings. That way you can safely use the new elements.

Judge Lifts Some Limits on Tobacco Ads and Labels - NYTimes.com

by mozkart (via)
As written, the law would limit advertising to black text with no graphics except in magazines with few young readers or in retail establishments open only to adults. Arguing in favor of that restriction, the government had asserted that companies were using light colors and appealing imagery as substitutes for their misleading use of the terms “light” and “low tar,” which will be banned in June. The judge ruled that companies could use imagery and colors appropriately to communicate “what the product is and who makes it.” He dismissed government objections that such marketing tailored to adults would unduly influence children. If that part of the ruling is upheld, Reynolds could continue using a colored drawing of a camel to promote Camel cigarettes, and Lorillard could continue promoting the aqua color associated with Newport, the leading menthol brand, company spokesmen said. “We are gratified that the court upheld our free speech rights to use color and graphics in our advertising to communicate with our adult consumers,” said Michael W. Robinson, a Lorillard spokesman.

Defuse | Fluid Interfaces

by sbrothier
Defuse is a new method for navigating and participating in online discussions. Previous designs for online discussion were successful under the assumption that participation would be limited to tens or at most hundreds of participants. Emergent social conventions have been able to smooth over media as they scale, but ultimately they are limited by the design of a medium itself. Defuse seeks to continue scaling online discussions by adding social, structural, and historical context throughout the interface, and by widening the expressivity of a message to match the user's intention. It does so using a combination of natural language processing, machine learning, visualization, data portraiture, social network analysis, and medium design.

BIB - Formations à la médiation numérique dans les bibliothèques : pourquoi et pour qui ? - BibliObsession

by decembre
Aujourd’hui, les formations sur le numérique dans les bibliothèques ont toujours deux angles : les outils (comment) ou les ressources (quoi). Jamais l’identification de communautés d’intérêt n’est abordée (pour qui), comme si ça allait de soi ! ... Il est grand temps d’enclencher le mouvement d’évolution de l’offre de formation continue dans les bibliothèques. Objectif : éradiquer le catalogage, au profit de stages intégrant une culture numérique au niveau de la stratégie de service d’une part et de l’autre sous l’angle des contenus et des dispositifs de médiation. Tout un programme, mais réflexion indispensable, à moyen et long terme me semble-t-il !

WordPress › WP Hide Dashboard « WordPress Plugins

by mozkart (via)
This plugin removes the Dashboard menu, the Personal Options section and the Help link on the Profile page, hides the Dashboard links in the admin bar menu (if activated), and prevents Dashboard access to users assigned to the Subscriber role. Useful if you allow your subscribers to edit their own profiles, but don't want them wandering around your WordPress admin section. Users belonging to any of the other WordPress roles will continue to see and have access to the other sections of the WordPress admin that correspond to their role's capabilities. WP Hide Dashboard has been tested with WordPress in Single user mode, Multisite mode, and with BuddyPress, and works with all of them. Note: Version 2.1 requires a minimum of WordPress 3.1. If you are running a version less than that, please upgrade your WordPress install before installing or upgrading.
