- Apple hit by boycott call over worker abuses in China | Technology | The Observer
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.
()- Daring Fireball Linked List: Sony, Too
Sony should no more abandon the point-and-shoot camera market than Apple should abandon the music-playing iPod market, but Sony has to recognize that it’s a business in decline and that the future is in putting better cameras into phones.
Nous dit le type qui n'a visiblement jamais eu un téléphone Sony-Ericsson dans les mains.

Au démarrage, [Cmd +R] fournit le menu de maintenance et l'outil de restauration. La mauvaise surprise c'est que cette restauration se fait en mode override : tout le disque est écrasé, soit 500Go à faire passer par le cable USB, autant dire que je n'ai pas beaucoup bossé hier après midi... [...] Je ne regrette donc pas les quelques euros dépensés dans ce disque dur externe, et si vous n'utilisez pas TimeMachine (ou un équivalent sous Windows ?) ... bein vous devriez.
Si c'est pour faire une restauration full à la hussarde, vous n'avez pas besoin de TimeMachine, un Windows NT4 et ntbackup suffiront largement.

Kev, they released a BETA version that they didn’t even load on Windows. The MENU didn’t work. Not some advanced feature throwing a bug, the fucking MENU didn’t work. I can’t test our themes and software against that. Lets be honest mate, how did it get past their tester and release procedure? Oh, thats right, they dont have a Tester. They just load it on their MacBooks and presume it works for the other 95% of the world. It’s a fucking shambles, and clearly they’ve learnt nothing since the 3.0 fuck-up.
Tout est dit.

If you have a table for export in which leading zeros and spaces have significance AND that file will only be viewed in Excel, then you can use an Excel specific convention in those fields where leading zeros or spaces should be preserved (in Excel). To implement this fix, double quote each field with leading zeros or spaces and place an equals sign (=) directly ahead of the first quote
W00t!
