Agreed To Improve Working Conditions (Foxconn & Apple)

The Fair Labor Association has released its findings from the lengthy investigation of working conditions at Foxconn's Chinese plants where Apple products are made. While the PR and report largely avoid over the top rhetoric and direct condemnations of the companies, they hardly paint a rosy picture. The watchdog found that in the last year all three factories violated not just FLA code for hours worked, but Chinese legal limits of 36 hours of overtime per month. During peak periods, employees worked more than 60 hours a week on average and many more than seven days in a row. But, to its credit, the group has extracted an agreement out of both Apple and Foxconn to drastically improve conditions at the factories.

Foxconn has agreed to meet FLA and Chinese legal codes by July of 2013, including cutting the number of monthly overtime hours from 80 to 36. To compensate for the lost work hours the manufacturer will boost wages and plans to hire thousands of new workers to help maintain current production levels. A concerted effort is also planned to improve the safety and health conditions at the plants and their accompanying dormitories. The moves may be felt here in the US as small increases in the cost of electronic goods, but the price will be easy to swallow considering the weight it'll help lift off our conscience.

PRESS RELEASE
Fair Labor Association Secures Commitment to Limit Workers' Hours, Protect Pay at Apple's Largest Supplier
Thursday, March 29, 2012

Independent Investigation Uncovers Significant Issues; 35,500 Anonymous Surveys Give Voice to Worker Concerns
FLA to Monitor, Publish Progress Reports on Apple and Foxconn Implementation

WASHINGTON, D.C.- After a thorough, independent investigation found significant issues with working conditions at three factories in China operated by Apple's major supplier Foxconn, the Fair Labor Association secured groundbreaking commitments that will reduce working hours to legal limits while protecting pay, improve health and safety conditions, establish a genuine voice for workers, and will monitor on an ongoing basis to verify compliance. The nearly month-long investigation found excessive overtime and problems with overtime compensation; several health and safety risks; and crucial communication gaps that have led to a widespread sense of unsafe working conditions among workers.

"The Fair Labor Association gave Apple's largest supplier the equivalent of a full-body scan through 3,000 staff hours investigating three of its factories and surveying more than 35,000 workers. Apple and its supplier Foxconn have agreed to our prescriptions, and we will verify progress and report publicly," said Auret van Heerden, President and CEO of the Fair Labor Association, a coalition of universities, non-profit organizations and businesses committed to improving the health, safety, fair treatment and respect of workers worldwide.

FLA's investigation found that within the last 12 months, all three factories exceeded both the FLA Code standard of 60 hours per week (regular plus overtime) and the Chinese legal limits of 40 hours per week and 36 hours maximum overtime per month. During peak production periods, the average number of hours worked per week exceeded 60 hours per worker. There were periods in which some employees worked more than seven days in a row without the required 24 hours off. Full worker survey data is available at www.fairlabor.org/affiliate/apple.

Foxconn has committed to bring its factories into full compliance with Chinese legal limits and FLA standards on working hours by July 2013, according to its remediation plan in FLA's report. The supplier will bring working hours in line with the legal limit of 49 hours per week, including overtime. This means a reduction in monthly overtime hours from 80 to 36, and would be a significant improvement given that most of the technology sector is struggling to address excessive overtime.

More importantly, while employees will work fewer hours, Foxconn has agreed to develop a compensation package that protects workers from losing income due to reduced overtime. In order to maintain capacity while reducing workers' hours, Foxconn committed to increase its workforce significantly as it builds additional housing and canteen capacity.

FLA also discovered that 14 percent of workers may not receive fair compensation for unscheduled overtime. The assessment found that unscheduled overtime was only paid in 30-minute increments. This means, for example, that 29 minutes of overtime work results in no pay and 58 minutes results in only one unit of overtime pay. Foxconn committed to pay workers fairly for all overtime as well as work-related meetings outside of regular working hours. In addition, FLA secured agreement from Foxconn and Apple to retroactively pay any worker due unpaid overtime. The companies are currently conducting an audit to determine the payments due to workers.

According to FLA's worker survey, 64 percent of employees say that compensation does not meet their basic needs. FLA will conduct a cost of living study in Shenzhen and Chengdu to assist Foxconn in determining whether worker salaries meet FLA requirements for basic needs, as well as discretionary income.

FLA observed other serious issues in areas such as health and safety, worker integration and communication, treatment of interns, and China's social security enrollment, among others.

A considerable number of workers feel concerned about the protection of their health and safety. More than 43 percent of the workers report that they have experienced or witnessed an accident. These accidents range from hand injuries to factory vehicle accidents. Foxconn has committed to be more inclusive of workers in health and safety monitoring and decisions.

Until now, Foxconn only recorded accidents that resulted in a production stoppage. Beginning immediately, Foxconn committed to require supervisors and workers to report all accidents resulting in an injury.

Many of Foxconn's health and safety problems, including blocked exits, lack of or faulty personal protective equipment and missing permits, were immediately corrected during the course of the investigation. FLA found that, one year after the Chengdu explosion, Foxconn had improved operating procedures, measurement, and documentation to reduce risks related to aluminum dust where Apple products are made.

The assessment also found that the union at Foxconn is dominated by management representatives and does not provide true worker representation. In keeping with local laws, Foxconn has agreed to ensure elections of worker representatives without management interference.

FLA also secured agreement by Foxconn to find alternative ways to address low enrollment in social security benefit programs and to adapt its internship program to ensure that interns enjoy the protections necessary for a productive, healthy and safe educational experience.

"If implemented, these commitments will significantly improve the lives of more than 1.2 million Foxconn employees and set a new standard for Chinese factories," van Heerden said.

Following the FLA's methodology, independent assessors logged more than 3,000 staff hours inside the factories. They evaluated conditions based on visual observation and review of policies, procedures and documentation (payroll and time records, production schedules, employee records); interviewed hundreds of Foxconn workers and managers both on- and off-site; and conducted an anonymous worker perception survey of 35,500 randomly-selected Foxconn workers – providing an in-depth understanding of working conditions, particularly during peak production of Apple products.

Under FLA rules, its assessors have unfettered access to conduct thorough investigations of Apple suppliers. This investigation of three Foxconn factories at Guanlan, Longhua, and Chengdu, in China is the beginning of FLA's in-depth, thorough examination of the entire operation to assess whether workers' rights and labor standards are being respected throughout Apple's supply chain.

"Joining the Fair Labor Association is voluntary. But once a company joins, FLA sets the rules of investigations and has full access to any supplier, owns the information collected and publishes its findings and recommendations for remedial action," van Heerden said.

In addition to follow up studies related to this first investigation, FLA will verify Apple's and Foxconn's implementation of their remediation plans and will report publicly on progress.

A full copy of the report is available at www.fairlabor.org/transparency/complaints-investigations.

About the Fair Labor Association: The FLA combines the efforts of socially responsible companies, civil society organizations and colleges and universities to protect workers' rights and improve working conditions worldwide by promoting adherence to international labor standards. The FLA holds companies accountable for monitoring their own supply chains and conducts independent assessments to ensure that the FLA Code of Conduct is upheld. The FLA also acts on and resolves third party complaints and special investigations about workers' rights abuses at specific factories. Through public reporting, the FLA provides consumers with credible information to make responsible buying decision. FLA is governed by a 19-member Board of Directors that includes an independent Chair and eighteen members equally representing leading universities, labor and human rights organizations, and companies.

Asia's Economics Situations (Revival in Next Quarter?)

Both U.S. and Asian buyers, whose economies are in better shape than those in Europe, are looking at acquisitions outside their home region, said Hermann Prelle, chairman of mergers & acquisitions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa at UBS AG.

Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), with $46.7 billion in cash as of January, said this month it will finance a $5 billion purchase of U.K. video-services software company NDS Group Ltd. with funds held overseas.

In Asia, there an increasing amount of dealmaking in financial services with multinational firms “rationalizing and pulling back selectively in the region,” said Joseph Gallagher, co-head of Asia-Pacific M&A at Credit Suisse Group in Hong Kong. He also anticipates oil and gas transactions will lead Asian M&A as countries including China seek more resources to fuel expanding economies.

First-quarter Asia-Pacific deals dropped 38 percent from the previous three months to about $40 billion, data show.

“We are hopeful that the rest of the year will see increased levels of activity,” said Samuel Kim, head of M&A for Asia-Pacific at Morgan Stanley. “We’re seeing a lot of clients think actively about M&A.”

More Asian companies are also pursuing corporate takeovers, rather than focusing just on buying assets or forming joint ventures, Kim said. Youku Inc. (YOKU), owner of China’s most popular video website, agreed to buy smaller competitor Tudou Holdings Ltd. in a $1 billion stock deal this month in one example of this trend.

Morgan Stanley is the top adviser for Asia so far this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Globally, JPMorgan is the top financial adviser among investment banks so far this year, followed by Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.

Weirdess Gadget That Have Ever Made

Doryu 2-16 Gun Camera no. 1027

Freeze!! I just want to take a picture of you with my Doryu 2-16 Gun Camera no. 1027! So say 'cheese'! =)

The Doryu 2-16 (ドリウ2-16型) is a pistol-shaped camera taking 16mm film, made from 1954 to 1956 by the Doryu company (certainly renamed Nihon 16-miri Shashin Kōgyō at some time). The 16mm camera is equipped with a built-in flash system, a bullet clip that holds five magnesium cartridges and a C-mount (like the one used in 16mm movie recorders).  As you can see from the photos, it can be fitted with a variety of lenses.

The DORYU 2-16 pistol camera is said to only be created for police use, which makes sense as I think people may get a little hesitant if you pull a gun camera out of your pocket.

Why Sony cuts off capital with Sharp joint venture Project?

When Sharp sold off some of its LCD manufacturing business to Hon Hai Precision we knew the company had fallen on tough times, we just didn't realize how bad things truly were. That joint venture it formed with Sony, well, it's all but over at this point. The two companies have amended their deal with each other and Sony has decided not to inject any more capital into the project. That's not entirely surprising since the relationship was already starting to show signs of strain, but the partnership could crumble at any moment. A study period has been designated, through the end of September, to decide what the future holds for the two regarding the production and purchase of large panel LCDs, but at any time Sony can simply demand that Sharp buy back its shares and leave the venture. For Sharp's sake, we certainly hope Hon Hai is in this for the long haul.

Samsung Galaxy S ICS-like 'value pack' upgrade officially released in Korea

The so-called Value Pack upgrade that was leaked for original Samsung Galaxy S devices after the company announced they would not be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (it was later given a passing mention in the Galaxy S II ICS upgrade notes) has been officially released, at least in Korea. The officialSamsung Tomorrow page has a link to Gingerbread and Froyo upgrades for the Galaxy S, as well as the Galaxy K and Galaxy U phones. Just like the leaked version, it adds some Ice Cream Sandwich features to these non-Android 4.0 phones, including Face Unlock, the ability to take pictures while shooting video and launcher improvements, without the fully reworked underpinnings of the new OS. Owners of compatible devices can hit the source link for all the details and the files, as long as they have Kies 2.0 at the ready and a bit of open storage space (backing up existing data is also, naturally, encouraged). Of course whether this will officially come to any of our US-carrier optimized Galaxy S models is still unknown.

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT Gorilla Glass?

You might say we're in the early days of the gadget age. A couple of decades ago, personal computers weren't portable and cell phones were rare luxuries. Today, a quick glance at the electronics store tells you all you need to know. Gadgets are our playthings and our playthings are portable. Devices in this age are all gear up with bigger screen, instead of "how low can you go", the game is now "how big can you show", therefore manufactures are looking for "Tough Glass" to produce "tough Screen". THE GORILLA GLASS!

Definition

Gorilla Glass, manufactured by Corning, is an alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass engineered specifically to be thin, light, and damage-resistant. Its primary application is portable electronic devices with screens. 

About

The company (Corning) designed the glass for our electronic lifestyles. As we carry around computers, tablets, smartphones, MP3 players and other devices, we risk damaging them through everyday use. Corning's Gorilla Glass stands up to abuse with scratch- and impact-resistant qualities. And Corning's approach allows the glass to be incredibly thin, meaning it won't interfere with capacitance touch screens or add significant weight to a device.

What's Corning's secret? What's so special about Gorilla Glass that sets it apart from other kinds of glass? The answer involves incredible temperatures, a special trough, robots and a molten salt bath. The finished product is a thin piece of glass that can withstand a lot of punishment.

Thoughts

Honestly, it has nothing to do with the screen or casing.  What matters is when you drop a phone, tablet, or netbook and you basically may be knocking something loose or out of alignment inside the device.  That's where the trouble is when you drop things.  Great that manufacturers are making better screens, but whats the most important, is having strong, protected internals.

HighTech "Dumb" Gadget (Fart No More)

In most Asian cultures, farting is a real embarrassment! Especially when it smells (especially after eating too many half boiled eggs). You just don’t want to admit it was you when people react to the smell! Thanks to technology, you no longer have to worry about the smell.

According to Under-Tec’s president and inventor, Buck Weimer, the Under-Ease is underwear that provides “protection” against human gas. This weird product, designed by the American manufacturer, has a built-in, multi-layered, and replaceable filter made of felt, charcoal, and fiberglass wool. To prevent any gasses from escaping without passing through the filters, the underpants are made from airtight fabric and are completely sealed with elastic around the waistband and legs. They can be worn at anytime, in bed, at work, at social events, in professional meetings, etc. The underwear is machine washable and the filters can last for weeks, even months, depending on the frequency of “use” and laundering. The pants are available on the firm’s website. Prices range from $30-35.

P.S.- Why not just say, “excuse me” or get over the cultural embarrassment?

Google calls it Google Play!

When Apple came out with iTunes, no one thought that a viable competitor would ever come. People were happy with this process. They were buying iPods, iPhones, iPads, and Macs, because the products worked so well with iTunes.

Then Google decided to come out with Android, then the Android market. They took all the phone manufactures who were beaten by the iPhone and iOS. Now, today, we have Google Play.

With Google Play, your Android smartphone is just as convenient to use with Google Play as iPhones are with iTunes.

Alcatel still around?

When we think about smartphones, a few things comes to mind, iPhone, Samsung, Android, well! maybe Blackberry. Who does remember back in the days where there is a brand call "Alcatel" which has quite  some MarketShares interms of Mobile Devices?

Here we are! Looking at one of their smartphone lineup "Alcatel OneTouch 98" an Android based device. They might not have the finances or ego to get a world wide marketing now, but doesn't mean they are not good. My beliefe is that, once a good maker, they know how to develop it better.
