Big Question (Answered): “Can Online Petitions Change Foxconn Conditions?”
Feb 3rd
The conditions of workers at Foxconn have been the subject of discussion for the past few years, but lately more and more people seem to be interested in how the workers at the tech manufacturing giant fare. A petition asks for your signature to pressure Apple into “mak(ing) the iPhone 5 ethically.”
But can an online petition really make a difference in this situation? Apple is not the only company who uses Foxconn to supply their hardware manufacturing. Amazon, Microsoft and Sony also use Foxconn to manufacture the Kindle, Xbox 360 and the PS3, among others. John Paul Titlow goes into further detail in, “Why Petitions Won’t Change Apple’s Labor Practices Anytime Soon.”

Feb 1st
Many people are expecting Facebook to file for it’s initial public offering today. In what could be the biggest tech IPO in history, Facebook would be aiming for a $75-100 billion valuation. They are looking to raise $10 billion in stock.

Big Question (Answered): “Do You Chat on Social Networks?”
Jan 25th
When I’m on Facebook and a chat pops up, I typically curse and close the browser immediately or quickly attempt to find the “invisible” setting. It’s not that I don’t like my friends, if I am on the computer I am probably working. If I want to socialize I may send out a Tweet or a text message, which they can respond to at their leisure.
I asked the staff and they agreed. I could find no staffer that admitted to chatting on a social network willingly, though one did say he occasionally feels he must.
Do you use the chat feature on social networks?

Big Question (Answered): “Worst Excel Spreadsheet”
Jan 24th
Many of us are still haunted by our colleagues’ Excel dependence. Even though I remembered the ghastly spreadsheet’s I’ve been sent, I didn’t expect to see as many truly horrible ways to use Excel as you have shared. Clearly someone needs to teach folks how to use a spreadsheet. From dropping images in it and sending it via email to creating a blog wireframe using Excel borders and shading, your answers had us all giggling.

Big Question (Answered): “Hey girl… What’s Your Favorite Riff of the Ryan Gosling Memes?”
Jan 6th
Ryan Gosling is the focus so many memes lately… From well-educated preservationist to staunch feminist, from NPR junkie to Silicon Valley power player, these Tumblr memes have made us all giggle. Which is a good thing because we all need to laugh with a potential SOPA crisis on our hands. But, don’t worry, Ryan is all over that.
So far my favorite iteration of “Hey girl…” comes from a Tumblr that imagines Ryan is a crafter, or in love with one. HandmadeRyanGosling pokes gentle fun at crafters, and the folks who love them, as only a fellow crafter could.

Big Question (Answered): Will You Update Your Facebook Timeline with Past Life Events?
Jan 5th
We’re written about the Facebook Timeline extensively here at ReadWriteWeb, but we’ve never come out and asked you whether or not you will spend time editing yours. Facebook has attempted to catalog your life automatically, but if we want our Timeline to reflect all of our important life events, that means editing it. We wondered if you were prepared to do so.

Big Question (Answered): Potential Tech Luminary Tattoos For You?
Jan 3rd
Abraham Hyatt compiled a juicy list of tech tattoos for you to ogle (and mock). A dozen or so of them were representations of tech luminaries like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates (not kidding). This made us wonder who might be worthy to be permanently inked onto our own bodies. What do you think? Who might earn an ink portrait on you?
Let’s say you were going to tattoo a tech luminaries’ face on to your body… Who would you choose?
