    in Nordic regulators to discuss legal sanctions against Apple Comment by slughead August 2006
  • Yeah a huge problem would be the fact that computers should not get above 150°F.. Steam forms at 212. Heat -> electricity is probably never going to be efficient because of that whole 'thermodynamics' mumbo jumbo about 'entropy'

  • I think it's nice that Apple did an investigation and changed things. Judging from the fact that foxconn was planning on making changes anyway, it's likely that they simply were having troubles expanding facilities fast enough to keep up with the…
