  • "Apple's Dynamic Tension: As torrents of cash flow into Apple's pockets, new attention is being drawn to how Apple makes the products it sells. The overseas manufacturers that Apple uses to make iThings are being put under the microscope yet again in regard to labor conditions. Meanwhile, other labor issues surface at home and Apple overtakes HP as the world's biggest PC maker ... depending on how you slice it."  MacNewsWorld 8:03 AM

As a UK consumer this appointment surprised me as Dixons have far from a healthy reputation in the UK. ... I thought it might be worth writing an email to new Apple CEO Tim Cook to ask for reassurance! Steve Jobs used to be famous for writing brief, terse replies to personal communications and his email address was far from a secret. I'd never tried when Steve was CEO, but I figured the same approach might work with Tim. I duly fired off an email and was excited to receive a short, polite and reassuring reply some hours later. Impressed? You bet."]  Tony Hart Photo 8:23 AM
