The first article on the Apple-centric blog talks about suicides at the Chinese company Foxconn, which manufactures Apple gadgets. It says:Foxconn claims it's not a sweatshop, but reports say the company is asking employees to work 60 hours of overtime a month (far over the legal limit of 36 hours of overtime), and paying only about $132 a month. Clearly something is wrong at the company that Apple depends on for much of its manufacturing labor.
the new phones might go on sale during the developer conference itself, which would be quite a way to kick off the summer.
I’m a graphic designer, creative director, web designer, and sometimes filmmaking lackey. Bred in Arlington, Virginia I’ve now inexplicably ended up in San Jose, California which is just close enough to Disneyland to make it an expensive hobby.
