Submission + - FoxConn Faces Mass Suicide Prrotest (techweekeurope.co.uk) 1

judgecorp writes: "Last week, workers at Taiwanese equipment maker FoxConn took to the roof and threatened to jump off during negotiations over pay and conditions at a factory making xbox 360s, at Foxconn Technology Park in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, China. The dispute apparently started when workers asked for a pay rise, and ended when the Wuhan mayor talked them down from the roof. Suicides at Foxconn were in the news in 2010, and last year, an explosion in a factory making iPads killed three workers."

What it sounds like to me is separating the notions of files from the notion of storage. So only the engineer and the underlying system needs to worry about whether your data is on your hard drive, or the cloud, or a pen drive. Instead, the user can just worry about their text/image/video, wherever it happens to be. Of course, it doesn't help that Richard Harper (a social scientist) writes such horrifically ponderous text.

The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland"; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.
