I don't usually do this, but...
Quite a lot of you probably don't read the B3ta newsletter. Your loss ;-)
However, today they link to a pictorial of chinese workers recycling modern electronic consumer goods.
It's not like it's news that cool electronic stuff has rare valuable components, it's just a little bit unnerving to see it extracted.
Sadly, this week there was no "Thing that makes you go 'Aaaaaah'" section. Instead, may I recommend AntWeb? Yes, I know very few of you will go 'Aaaaaaah' in a good way, but bear with me. At the very least, a few minutes browsing will clearly explain why I'm building an ant-based animation system :-).
