Mike Daisey and Foxconn: the tools of the theater are not those of journalism
"How old are you? "I am thirteen years," she replies. Thirteen? It
is young. Is it difficult to be hired by Foxconn when you - and she said
"oh, no." All his friends nod; they really do not check the age. I
tell you ... for the first two hours the first day I spent at the gates
[Foxconn], I met the workers of 14, 13, 12. Do you really think that Apple does
not know?
When the media influenced the works
The
advent of paperless media has affected more discrete in appearance and in their
use and distribution: the very creation has been disrupted. Indeed,
the physical media has been a constraint as such, to be considered in the
creative process, and has had an influence on the form. Some
constraints are evident, for example for music: the total duration of an album
now has virtually no limits imposed. Others are more subtle for the consumer,
but not less inconsequential to the creators.

Testing the iPad Third Generation (Wi-Fi, 32GB) - I
It is not called "iPad 3" but simply "iPad" with the third
generation, Apple intends to redefine the category it created with the original
iPad. "We have made improvements to the most fundamental aspects of the
iPad while keeping everything that people liked the first iPad," said the Cupertino Company. Since
the iPad is a large screen flanked by a large battery, these are the points
that have been drastically improved, while retaining the strengths (and weaknesses)
of IOS. Is it enough to redefine the concept of the iPad? The response in our
test.
