BBC News - Apple factories to face independent inspections - 2 views

  •  
    I agree with the fact that Apple factories are going to face independent inspections. Everyone deserves a good to work at a safe environment, just like Apple's chief executive stated "Workers everywhere have the right to a safe and fair work environment.". I think it is a good idea to do so since suicides have occurred in the past and also because "137 workers in eastern China were injured after they used a poisonous chemical - n-hexane - to clean iPhone screens". This shows that the work environment isn't completely safe therefore I agree that Apple factories should be independently inspected.

    As Ines pointed out there are some issues with the use of chemicals in Apple factories which make the work environment unsafe to work in however, I believe that if Apple's factories are independently inspected then all other factories should also go through the same process to ensure other factories aren't making employees work in unsafe environments.

BBC - Newsbeat - Sim cards used to send thousands of spam texts blocked - 0 views

  • Never reply to spam text messages (if you do it just confirms your number exists and you're likely to get even more) Forward any spam messages to your operator (most of them have dedicated text numbers you can send spam to so they can investigate where it came from) Always be careful about handing over your mobile number, especially online (you'll often need to untick small boxes in forms if you don't want your number passed on)

BBC News - Blackberry launches Playbook rival to iPad - 2 views

  •  
    (This article affects 2.5_digital_entertainment) Although the Playbook has various appealing features such as dual HD cameras on the front and on the rear of the tablet and flash compatibilty, it is still entering a highly competitive market. It has been over a year since the playbook's release and it is clear that Apple's iPad continues at the top of the market. Here is a good comparison between both tablets: http://www.techdigest.tv/2011/06/blackberry_play_8.html

    I agree with Jorge. By lauching this Playbook, Blackberry is surely entering a highly competitive market where not only Apple has lauched a similar product (iPad) yet also Samsung is also in the market for similar products. However, this Playbook has something that Apple doesn't; software for flash. Also, this Playbook is smaller than the Apple's iPad. This can be an advantage such that it would be easier to carry around, yet also a disadvantage since the screen would be smaller so people can't see things so well as on the iPad.
