Silicon, Solar Power and Corporate Responsibility, Part 1

The EIA report cites silicon supply disruptions at Shell Solar as the cause of a 10 percent drop in PV exports, a problem that led Shell Solar to sell its crystalline silicon solar business and focus instead on thin-film solar technologies.

Post-Jobs Apple, Microsoft’s Garage Games, and the End of Laptops on Planes

While some of the newer jets have incredibly robust entertainment systems, these planes don't seem to fly to Europe from the U.S., and the entertainment available on an old 747 just won't cut it.

A laptop is a valuable item, and luggage isn't handled delicately. Also, luggage theft is relatively high.
