I love that they are being payed piece rate. I have worked for piece rate and been in management and had to set the times for piece rate. I can't imaging the stress and pressure they put on themselves not to go too fast and make sure new employees don't go to fast - along with the supervisors saying 'faster, faster'. It's gotta be a damn horror of a nightmare considering the hours and what they finally get paid.

I hooked my step-son up with a 26" HDTV. I have his PS3, xbox, and PC hooked up to it ans he's on it all the time for close to three years now with no issues.

Thanks, Howard[/quote] OTHELLO - If he can't give you the info here in open forum (and share it with EVERYONE who has apparently been doing it wrong), it's a good chance that it's because it would be removed for SPAM and he'll want or need your email address.

Here's a little FYI - All tweets from Foxconn are being blocked (Twitter) now on wired nets. Will Apple defend their freedom of speech or just acknowledge that in China they have none and it isn't their concern?

Tim- Just emailed you the mouseover, rgt and lft separators, and All Programs file to check before I upload them to the Graphics Gallery. ***Forgot the log off button and arrow. Just sent them. If I screwed something up, it will be these.

I did. It's all good. But it took a couple times of hitting that button and applying the skin. It's okay for now.

I moved the slider all the way over to the right nd reapplied and it's solid. I reset all the transparency sliders and reapplied and it's still solid. So that's good. I wonder if this is a bug from when I updated WB from the SD Store and had all those issues. When this is done, I may have to wipe blinds and reinstall clean if this si still happening.

[quote who="2of3" reply="170" id="3077672"]MY version is totally solid. Looks like you've been screwing with the transparency settings in the WB config.[/quote] No I haven't. I thought this was because you told me to to put everything at 'semi-tranparent' in the extra settings. I haven't done anything with Transparency in windowblinds at all. Something is off somewhere.

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="37" id="3077647"]I read an interesting article on why Apple only halfheartedly enforces worker rights in their suppliers. Basically the margin of profit they allow their suppliers to make is so low that the suppliers are constantly cutting corners. The only real way to enforce worker rights would be to allow suppliers to have higher profit margins, which would in turn reduce Apple's profits.[/quote] Apple is not about to give up the profit they m

I think I just want to lose the arrow in 'All Programs'. I want to put an image in for the search bar but cannot find where to edit that in SKS. Also, nothing personal Tim, but the transparency on the Start Menu is too much, IMO. Especially with a light colored wallpaper behind it. IS that adjustable in SKS? If not, could we leave it solid and let the user define the transparency in Windowbl

I get hung up on trying to make each part look 'special' or unique so it fits the particular theme I am working on. Not knowing the limitations of SKS makes the experience frustrating for me and I end up defeating myself. I think that plays a part in why I give up sometimes. ***Edit - I hate to say it but I just need someone standing behind me with

(paraphrasing) "If say, we are about to go into production of the iPhone 5 and we have only just now decided to add a new feature to the phone... Foxconn would most likely be able to put that new feature into production in about 6 weeks. Whereas, if that same scenario were played out in by a manufacturer in the U.S. then, it
[quote who="Alstein" reply="31" id="3077582"]It pops up every now and then. 10 years ago it was Nike Shoes. I think improved for them some when Duke students started protesting. It would take a consumer boycott, but quite simply, for the social media crowd, Apple is a lower evil then social conservatives and extreme anti-competitive capitalism. Also, it's a sign of economic recovery in a sense. People start caring about others more

Damn sinus infection and it's kicking my ass. Mouseovers are driving me crazy. They look like crap behind the icons. Thinking of going with just a highlight/glow. Right now, nothing looks 'right' to me. I'm sure a lot of it is the shading I am adding. It makes the actual graphic/bg look smaller.
Nice picks. ;) And thanks for the mention. :)
