February 16, 2012 4:55 am

Last year this site was introduced qualcomm Snapdragon S4 a new generation of SoC processor in the 2012 development plan, and now VR-Zone gets the message says, probably as a result of the production process. Qualcomm in the sequence of the strongest performance S4 several kinds of high-end products will be put off at about quarter.

These products include four core MSM8974 (for high-end smartphone), and for the tablet computer does not contain the MODEM APQ8094/8074. The specific reason can be based on the current production process to make breakthrough 2 GHz or frequency to have some difficulty factor.

To improve working environment will cause a rise in price of products

February 15, 2012 5:12 am

The web site published today signed IT Computerworld Preston · case LABS (Preston Gralla), the paper said although apple hired outside institutions develop independent investigation, is to improve employment environment step. But will it really solve the problem, but depends on the apple users. Unless they are willing to spend more money to buy apple products, otherwise we cannot completely improve employment environment.

Apple announced that hiring outside institutions for China supplier factories employment environment to launch an investigation, this may change is a good beginning for employment practices. In fact, the only way to get these factories treat employees method is, consumers’ willingness to for apple and other electronic products to pay higher prices.

Apple has been because China foundry enterprises blamed the employment problem. Last month, the New York times published an in-depth reports, detailed the bad apples to expose the employment environment. This paper concludes: “aspects, including heavy work environment and serious or even deadly safety problems.”

“Work time serious, and sometimes even a week overtime seven days to work but can only live in crowded dormitories. There are workers, and said, because stand for too long a time, leg is swollen, can hardly walk. Child labor was also bring production, and the company’s apple products supplier did not properly handling of hazardous waste, and even forged records.”

This article also revealed some of the more serious problems, including forcing staff to use toxic chemicals, cause serious damage; Plant explosion caused the death employees; The work environment are unsafe.

Yesterday, apple announced that it has invited Fair Labor Association (Fair Labor Association) to include China, foxconn assembly factory investigating, the latter often because Labor problems are exposed.

But not all people are satisfied that the practice, there has been some criticism fair labor association and Nike, etc to provide funded enterprise having an affair. I can’t say I blame or fair to these workers’ association very understanding, so was not able to determine whether the organization can expand appropriate investigation. But it’s clear that something is better than nothing.

In fact, only by survey can’t really solve the problem, which relates to your wallet. For apple and other enterprise the work of the shang dynasty enterprises have labor so bad environment, the reason is that: apple and other business enterprise give their profit too low, forcing them to go.
