≈ Comments Off on Apple Workers In Poorest Countries Pay and Go Into Debt To Work on Consumer Electronics Assembly Lines.
What Obama’s Anti-‘Human Trafficking’ Order Means for Apple, by Cam Simpson and Adam Satariano, Politics & Policy, Bloomberg Businessweek
Friday is the deadline for corporate suppliers of the world’s biggest consumer—the U.S. government—to have a say in new regulations aimed at ending indentured servitude overseas. . . . The President’s dictate is unequivocal on one key point: If a company wants to keep the government as a customer, it must stop hiring overseas workers who had to buy their jobs.
You read that right: Workers actually buy jobs. As Bloomberg Businessweek reported in November, foreign workers recruited from some of Asia’s poorest corners often go deep into debt to pay brokers for a crack at jobs on consumer-electronics assembly lines. These factories are in Malaysia and other countries that rely almost exclusively on migrant labor for production. For years Apple has ordered its suppliers to keep such fees below one-months’ net pay at a factory, but its audits last year turned up $6.4 million in overcharges.

Perils of E-Discovery Reflected in Sanctions Opinion, by Gareth Evans, a litigation partner at Gibson Dunn, Law Technology News
Lest anyone think that hair-raising e-discovery sanctions opinions are a thing of the past, U.S. District Judge David Herndon of the Southern District of Illinois issued a blistering 51-page opinion (PDF) imposing nearly $1 million in punitive sanctions on the defendants in In re Pradaxa Products Liability Litigation on Dec. 9, 2013, and indicated that more sanctions are almost certainly on the way.
The case is an example of how electronic data discovery generally, and implementing legal holds in particular, can be fraught with peril.

Access All Your Clouds with One Login, by Robert Ambrogi, Robert Ambrogi’s LawSites
If you’re at all like me, your life is dispersed across multiple cloud platforms. I have documents on Drive, Dropbox and Box. I have notes in Evernote. I have photos on Instagram, Picasa and Flickr. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could access all these cloud services through a single interface and a single login?
Well, you can. In fact, there are a number of applications that let you do this. Some are paid and some are free. I have been trying two of the free services, Jolidrive and CloudKafe.

Review: iPhone 5s Dock — charge and hold your iPhone 5 or 5s, by Jeff Richardson, iPhone J.D. Blog
Great deal for $29.99. CCE
If you work at a desk and you are looking for a useful accessory for your iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s — or a gift for someone else who uses one — and if you don’t use a case with your iPhone, I’m a big fan of the iPhone 5s Dock made by Apple. Back in 2008, I reviewed the iPhone 3G Dock. In 2010 I reviewed the iPhone 4 Dock and the Apple Universal Dock. In September of 2013, Apple released its first dock with a Lightning connector, the iPhone 5s Dock. I bought it as soon as it came out and I’ve been using it for about two months. It works great with my iPhone 5s, and note that despite the name, it also works with the iPhone 5 since the two iPhones are the same size.
