Ninth worker death at Taiwan iPhone firm Foxconn
A ninth employee has jumped to his death at Taiwanese iPhone manufacturer Foxconn, China's state media reports.

Wikipedia: "Among other things, Foxconn produces the Mac mini, the iPod, the iPad, and the iPhone for Apple Inc.; Intel-branded motherboards for Intel Corp.; various orders for American computer manufacturers Dell and Hewlett-Packard; motherboards for UK computer manufacturer Zoostorm; the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 for Sony; the Wii for Nintendo; the Xbox 360 for Microsoft, cell phones for Motorola, the Amazon Kindle, and Cisco equipment."
It's interesting that Apple is this weird syphon that should anything bad ever happens that is anywhere remotely connected to Apple, the blame goes straight to Steve Jobs
- Apple stories generate hits on all the shitty tech blogs. And the nerds follow suit like a bunch of sheep.inteliboy

Just look at CNN and how they publish an Apple related article a day... perfect example.

So basically he's a misanthropic asshole. That's what it takes sometimes.

Interesting article. Jobs doesn't sound like anyone I'd ever want to work for.
I'm sick of this whole Flash thing on iPhone/iPad thing, though. Don't get me wrong: I love Flash, and would like to see it supported on these platforms, HOWEVER ... I think people need to remember that these devices (and similar ones from other manufacturers) probably aren't _meant_ to be the de facto computing device we all use for our daily work, at least not right now. At their core, they're still phones and still limited-functionality portable internet-capable devices, not designed to replace desktop systems. Asking for the full experience out of one of these things simply isn't realistic.
Imagine trying to use Illustrator on an iPad. Or coding PHP on an iPhone, with that small touch keyboard. Or writing a long text document. It simply isn't feasible.
Thus, I really don't think Jobs' obsession with killing Flash will amount to much, at least not in the near future. If nothing else, it will produce new innovation on Adobe's side, with their platform.
Like I mentioned in another thread, though, curiously silent in all of this is Microsoft. It's not normally like them to back away from a potential dust-up with Apple, especially since it also involves Google indirectly.
- about your point with these various platforms voice user interface and gesture user interface could easily change that in 5 years or lessDeIntegro
- that in 5 years or less. Yes you could write programs on ipad or do illustrator on ipad in 5 years just without the mouse...eg WACOMDeIntegro
- WACOMDeIntegro
- Fair enough, but would you really _want_ to?Continuity
- all depends on the user experience. imagine collaboratively working on code for eg.DeIntegro
- If we're to assume it would still be a similar experience to the current iPhone OS, that would be pretty clunky.Continuity
- the OS will have to evolve, the iPad is just a blueprint for mobile computing...it depends on what apps you want to run on it for eg.DeIntegro

"Jobs doesn’t like flash. It has a slow, clumsy, weird interface, "
huh? like the authoring environment? As if he actually uses that?
*confused
- so what about the authoring environment. it's the user experience that matters for consumers.DeIntegro

can we have a ' no apple thread friday rule' please?
PLEASE

let me pause from my reading and say...
"Steve’s fearless crippling of that original Mac saved that computer and saved the graphical user interface."
BULLSHIT!
