Because it means only one button can be pressed. When you select one
the previous selection is obliterated. It hearkens back to buttons on
a car radio to select a station. You press only one at a time.

As I recall, Otto, you are in Britain. As G.B. Shaw put it, the
Americans and the British are two great peoples divided by a common
language. I have a good Facebook friend from Australia. We correspond
almost every day, and have for over a year. Hardly a week goes by
when one of us does not notice something strange in the other's
English. Misspellings (to me, at any rate) such as centre, tyre and
colour I can expect, but every once in a while she comes out with a
word or term that means nothing to me and vice versa. Here in the
formerly rebellious colonies <grin> the term "radio button" is one of
those things, just as terms of yours would be (in this case
literally) foreign to us.

well, the question to me is who or what made me retract the story, because we know the conditions are horrendous.
i don't think we should take that personally. just the facts.
Sometimes Apple-ites have a religious fervor. this is okay. but not to the extent when people who are upset by conditions
of Foxxcon are shot down on our list.
besides, is this really on-topic, you or me?

We know the working conditions at Foxconn are orders of magnitude better than in many other places those workers could look for work.

Doug,
I don't know HOW the conditions there are! I don't believe they are as
horrendous as some make it out to be. How many people in this country
are looking for a job?
I remember back in the early '70's, college grads were taking jobs
pumping gas just to make a buck and exist! Seems to me that people here
now are picking and choosing what they want for a job. I saw an
interview of one college kid who said she would not take anything
beneath her standards. Some difference!
That and the fact that when Intel executives go on national news and
state that the majority of the existing workforce do not have the
education or skills for most jobs today......well, that's just downright
scary!! Intel higher-ups are not the only ones getting that impression,
know, sampling of the existing job force.
I'm just glad I'm retired and on the down slope. Years ago, evey
generation had low impressions of the upcoming one, but, nothing was
affected by the 'lowness' so to speak. Now, there are many jobs that
CAN'T be filled because no one has the education, even though the
employers will train for the rest.
I don't know what to say. As I said, I'm glad I'm on the downslope!
The Chinese impress me as people that want to exist. Their government
will not offer hand-outs. When this government keeps on extending
unemployment benefits to the tune of over one year, that's pretty
disgusting. Especially when they want to cut seniors and disabled folk
in the interim.
Boy oh boy!!

Doug: Greetings!
Many years ago, probably in the '60s, the Bechtel corporation caught a lot of flack from American reporters when it was alleged that a Bechtel executive had paid a fee (read "bribe") to increase their chances of getting a certain contract — somewhere in the middle east, Saudi Arabia or Egypt, I don't remember exactly where.
I think it was Steve Bechtel himself, as CEO, answered the charge: "We obey the laws of every country in which we do business."
They do not obey German law when doing business in France. They do not obey Italian laws when doing business in Japan.
Should Apple obey American law when doing business in China?
First of all, is Apple obeying all Chinese laws in the factories there? I would hope so.
But holding them to American working standards is not a reasonable thing to expect. It sounds like Apple is moving rapidly to improve working conditions. I certainly hope so.
Cheers!
earle

In a sense, yes, not the point.
The point is that we (I) do NOT know that the conditions are horrendous.

*I* have read conflicting reports.
Some negative reports have been retracted, because of included "fabrications" (lies).
Done our research, have we?
The suicide rate among Foxconn employees is roughly the same as the overall suicide rate in the United States.
The suicide rate in my small, eastern, liberal arts college class was higher (1 suicide, 270 classmates).

So using the suicide rate as evidence that conditions in Foxconn plants are "horrendous" does not stand up to examination.

Suddenly no sound

My iMac, running on Lion, suddenly has no sound. All of the sound adjustment icons in the whole computer are greyed out. In settings, the audio shows everything is on. I checked audio midi setup and there is no muting, and the controls are greyed. I have run disc utility and repaired disc permissions and also run iBoostUp to fix any problems. Any ideas?

>any problems. Any ideas?
Check the sound preference pane and make sure it is not set to send
the sound to something other than the speakers, conceivably something
you don't even have connected. For example, since I have an iMic
hooked up I have two choices, internal speakers and the iMic USB
audio system. Since I have nothing currently attached to the iMic it
would give me your problem. Have you tried two simple tests? The
first one is to restart your computer, which might reset something
currently (to use the technical term) "kaflooie." Have you logged
into a test account to see if you get sound there?
For that matter, when you go to the sound preference pane (I'm in
10.6 and you are in 10.7 so it might be different for you) make sure
that you have not checked the mute box.

Recommendation for TuneUp for iTunes.

i've been using this piece of software to Clean (getting the right info on each track), Cover Art, DeDup, and Tuninverse (haven't gotten to that point yet). i like Dougscripts, and used his
deduper in the past, and paid for it, used his delete dead tracks, and gave a donation for it. he is tops.
however, i added TuneUp, and paid for 1 year, instead of lifetime. well, after having so much fun with my 15,000 plus, now 14,000 plus, that i asked the owners if i could upgrade to life. $29.95 for 1 year, 49.00 for life. there was no way to do this simply. so, he refunded my initial payment, and i bought the lifetime version at a substantial discount ($39.95).

In Re: TuneUp for iTunes, when you play a song from your iTunes "Library" it will allow you to see a video of the song, if possible, and show concert information. pretty neat!

It really doesn't matter whether you put it on your external HD or your internal HD, assuming that you have a fast connection to your external. It just depends on how you have your stuff organized as to where to install it.
As someone else replied, your confusing your RAM with your HD capacity. You have plenty of space on your internal HD, if that's where you want to install it.
