  1. Price of gasoline, petroleum.. etc.

    We probably should get used to changing our habits. About 20 years ago my cousin from France visited us for about a month. 2 things she noticed immediately, all the cars were MUCH BIGGER and she commented how we drove around so much. We would run down to the store to pick up one or 2 things...
  2. iFactory the very first look at the Apple factory

    Here is a NY Times article talking about why Apple among many others have taken their jobs overseas http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-and-a-squeezed-middle-class.html?pagewanted=all
  3. iFactory the very first look at the Apple factory

    Based on pay compared to us, yes it stinks but nothing else about that factory appeared much different than many here in the US I think the whole episode was milquetoast. Not at all in depth or undercover. 20 minutes of jibber jabber. Based on previous reports you were expecting to see a dirty...
  4. iFactory the very first look at the Apple factory

    It is no different then Whitney Houston dying. She was popular so they talk it it up on every news channel for 2 weeks straight. No one cares when dozens of other people die the same day for the same reasons
  5. iFactory the very first look at the Apple factory

    Because Foxconn makes parts for dozens, perhaps hundreds of tech companies. As someone mentioned, if you hate Apple for it, then you should hate any number of tech companies since they employ the same factory to produce their wares Acer, Amazon, Cisco, Dell, Gateway, HP, Intel, Microsoft...
  6. iFactory the very first look at the Apple factory

    a few proper keywords at youtube or liveleak and you will find many similar videos that are truly worse
  7. iFactory the very first look at the Apple factory

    Do you know how many products in your house are produced in China in FAR WORSE conditions than this? Foxconn is no angel but there is much worse. I am no economy expert. I wonder if it is not just as simple as raising everyone's wages. They are busting down the doors to work at this rate.
  8. iFactory the very first look at the Apple factory

    And that is actually a pretty good wage compared to what many make in China. Maybe 3-4x http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_in_People's_Republic_of_China And pay attention to the show and other stats from elsewhere, the suicide rate there is actually lower than the remainder of...
  9. know your software/equipment

    The worst part is that the good art is available but they couldn't operate the software properly to get it to me. I can understand if they got it from the webpage. But this was a decent business card, they just needed to scan it in properly. And there is the issue in which someone will scan in...

    I am on a Mac. Can I control a windows machine?
  11. know your software/equipment

    I cannot tell you how often this happens. Customer sends me artwork. I tell them that the file is too low of a resolution to recreate from. It was from a business card so I told them to scan at a higher resolution. They sent it to me a 2nd time (sample 1 below) and insisted it was now 600...
  12. Font Genius, anyone use it?

    i have about 90% success with whatfontis. It identifies the thousands of free fonts out there. Think about it, in order for the Font Genius software to be useful you would need to have every free font out there on your hard drive for it to work. If you use the Genius software and don't have the...
  13. top 15 worst logo failures

    I am sure the 800k was for more than just the logo. Custom font, pictograms, all supporting design work most likely was included in that price. I have not looked it up but usually these big dollar logo designs are seldom for just one logo http://www.london2012.com/sport and this is but one...

  16. Adobe CS 6 coming soon!

    If you create your own designs and never accept customer files then you can use any version of the software you choose. You can do a majority of the design work in any version of Illustrator and Photoshop. Adobe made some functions easier, less steps, etc over the years. Personally I could trace...

    You are at a disadvantage right now. With the ipad3 coming out soon and everyone knows it, so selling a previous generation model is more difficult. I have had very good luck with Craigslist, no fees
