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.

Twitter-Streetart: This demonstrates perfectly just how stupid and pointless twitter is! | Nerdcore

Twitter-Streetart: This demonstrates perfectly just how stupid and pointless twitter is!

twitterstreetart

Twitter-Streetart von Questionmarc (via Urban Prankster) mit einem bemerkenswerten Kommentar darunter.

Das ist schon sehr, sehr lustig. Es ist ja nicht nur so, dass ein paar Journalisten Twitter nicht verstehen und darauf rumhacken. Es ist auch so, dass sobald man irgendetwas über Twitter schreibt, steht mindestens einmal der Kommentar „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Twitter doch eigentlich ist.“ Jetzt könnte man sich ja denken, diese Twittmeckermentalität wäre ein deutsches Phänomen – da sah ich obige Streetart und darunter der Kommentar „This demonstrates perfectly just how stupid and pointless twitter is!“ Von wegen deutsch, das ist schlicht ein mentales Filterproblem der Rezipienten. Wenn ich die Worte „Fashion“ oder „Ballett“ lese, dann lese ich gar nicht erst weiter und ich schreibe erst Recht nicht einen Kommentar wie „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Ballett doch eigentlich ist.“

Ich glaube, dieser Satz offenbart die komplette Absurdität solcher Kommentare. Geht auch so: „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Blogs doch eigentlich sind.“ Bullshit. Ich kaufe mir auch keine Geflügelzüchtermagazine und beschwere mich dann, dass diese voller Geflügelzüchtercontent sind. Wenn man sich gerne und ausschließlich lange Abhandlungen zur Außenpolitik von Papua Neuguinea durchliest, wird man wohl schwerlich ein Fan von Twitter. Aber dann: Don’t fucking read it!

Ansonsten empfehle ich immer noch Julies Anleitung zum Glücklichtwittern: Twitter ist unnütz.

[update] Von Jeriko grade in den Kommentaren gepostet, auch sehr schön:

it’s a lesson in how the future of music is working -

fans are literally (and i mean that….literally) lining up at the signing table after shows and HANDING me cash, saying “thank you”.

i had to EXPLAIN to the so-called “head of digital media” of roadrunner australia WHAT TWITTER WAS. and his brush-off that “it hasn’t caught on here yet” was ABSURD because the next day i twittered that i was doing an impromptu gathering in a public park and 12 hours later, 150 underage fans - who couldn’t attend the show - showed up to get their records signed.

no manager knew! i didn’t even warn or tell her! no agents! no security! no venue! we were in a fucking public park!

life is becoming awesome.

by karlcow
Tres interessant dans l'évolution d'un langage. Une version intermédiaire envoyant des warnings sur ce qui ne marchera pas à la prochaine version. A reflechir. Python 2.6 will support a "Py3k warnings mode" which will warn dynamically (i.e. at runtime) about features that will stop working in Python 3.0, e.g. assuming that range() returns a list.

SMARTReporter

by rmaltete
SMARTReporter is an application that can warn you of some ATA hard disk failures before they actually happen! It does so by periodically polling the S.M.A.R.T.-status of your hard disk. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a technology built into most modern hard disks that acts as an "early warning system" for pending drive problems. Because SMARTReporter relies on the S.M.A.R.T. implementation of Mac OS X, it only supports ATA or S-ATA hard disks, if you want S.M.A.R.T. support for your FireWire hard disk, send feedback to Apple. SMARTReporter can notify you of impending hard disk failures by sending e-mails, displaying a warning dialog or executing an application. The current status of your hard disks is always displayed through the customizable menu item.

100 pirates in 100 days

by sbrothier
In September of this year I began my mission to draw one Pirate a day for 100 days straight, and today I cleaned up and uploaded Pirate number 100. I am mentally and physically exhausted. If this post is less than articulate it's because I have been up for many hours and my brain don't work properly. When I'm done posting this I am going to sleeeeeeeeeeeep. Still, It feels great to know I have finished on time or thereabouts. I uploaded the images to a flickr set, where you can view the images as a slide show, leave comments and so on. For the sake of consistency with the rest of this blog I've also put all the images behind the cut tag below, but that might take a while to load and my friend whose webspace I use will hate me, so don't say I didn't warn you! I should mention that since the drawings were originally commissioned for an online role-playing game, they depict not only pirates but the creatures whose world the pirates inhabit. I guess the title of this project might be slightly misleading, because a fish with a pirate hat on isn't strictly a pirate, but I hope no-one will hold that against me. I should also point out that I've ordered it so the first twenty or so are all the lowly skulking creatures and pirate children, the last 20 are the mighty warrior pirates, and then everything in between is everything in between. That's just so you don't get confused when you click the link expecting to see pirates and instead you see a bunch of fish wearing hats.

Google Safe Browsing for Firefox

by parmentierf & 2 others (via)
Google Safe Browsing is an extension to Firefox that alerts you if a web page that you visit appears to be asking for your personal or financial information under false pretences. This type of attack, known as phishing or spoofing, is becoming more sophisticated, widespread and dangerous. That's why it's important to browse safely with Google Safe Browsing. By combining advanced algorithms with reports about misleading pages from a number of sources, Safe Browsing is often able to automatically warn you when you encounter a page that's trying to trick you into disclosing personal information.
