    • Alanis Morissette
    • Ten years after the original release, comes the traditional celebratory acoustic re-recording. The album has held up remarkably well. While it is not as meaningful to me as it was when I was sixteen,

    • Brian Eno
    • In his first proper solo release since 1996's relatively cold "The Drop," Brian Eno has constructed a whimsical and ecclectic masterpiece which is arguably one of the year's strongest records thus fa

Foxconn Admits Labor Law Violations

Foxconn, the China-based company that manufactures some iPods for Apple Computer, has admitted to violating some labor laws. The company was accused of working employees 15 hours a day for less than US$50 a month by London's Mail on Sunday. Now, the Inquirer is reporting that Foxconn has admitted to forcing employees to work about 80 extra hours each month.

Foxconn spokesperson, Li Zong, stated that although the company forced employees to work extra hours, it "paid the workers according to the minimum salary standards of the Shenzhen local government."

Initially, Foxconn denied any worker mistreatment. Apple has started its own investigation into the factory working conditions in response to the claims.

Representatives from Apple Computer were not available for comment.
