Apple, America and a Squeezed Middle Class

To thrive, companies argue they need to move work where it can generate enough profits to keep paying for innovation. Doing otherwise risks losing even more American jobs over time, as evidenced by the legions of once-proud domestic manufacturers — including G.M. and others — that have shrunk as nimble competitors have emerged. Apple was provided with extensive summaries of The New York Times’s reporting for this article, but the company, which has a reputation for secrecy, declined to comment. This article is based on interviews with more than three dozen current and former Apple employees and contractors — many of whom requested anonymity to protect their jobs — as well as economists, manufacturing experts, international trade specialists, technology analysts, academic researchers, employees at Apple’s suppliers, competitors and corporate partners, and government officials.

Le premier classement Slate des villes d’Europe les plus cools

«C lassement des villes les plus agréables» , «classement des villes où il fait bon étudier» , «classement des pays les plus dangereux» … La comparaison des villes et des pays entre eux revient régulièrement à la une des médias. Slate a décidé de sacrifier à ce «marronnier» avec son propre classement, celui des villes les plus cools pour étudier, qui ne sacre ni les principales capitales ni les villes habituellement en tête de ce genre de palmarès, mais Lisbonne et Varsovie. <a href="http://ww400.smartadserver.com/call/pubjumpi/33259/230913/14321/S/[timestamp]/?"><img src="http://ww400.smartadserver.com/call/pubi/33259/230913/14321/S/[timestamp]/?" border="0" alt="" /></a> publicité http://www.slate.fr/story/48155/classement-villes-cools-Europe

The Blog : The Truth about Violence

http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-truth-about-violence (Photo by Pensiero ) As a teenager, I once had an opportunity to fly in a police helicopter over a major American city. Naively, I thought the experience might be uneventful. Perhaps there would be no crime between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. on a Saturday night. However, from the moment we were airborne, there was a fresh emergency every fifteen seconds: Shots fired… rape in progress… victim stabbed… It was a deluge. Of course, the impression this left on me was, in part, the result of a sampling bias: I was hearing nothing but incident reports from a city of 4 million people, most of whom would never encounter violence directly.
