Thoughts on Flash

Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers – Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products – but beyond that there are few joint interests.

看護職員、「慢性疲労」7割超える 医労連アンケート

2010年4月27日8時5分

 「慢性疲労」を訴える看護職員の割合が7割を超えていることが26日、日本医療労働組合連合会(医労連)のアンケートでわかった。約20年前の調査に比べ、約7ポイントの上昇。国の指針で「月8回以内」と定められた看護師らの夜勤は、31.7%の職員が9回以上していることもわかった。

 アンケートは、2009年11月からの2カ月間実施。全国の病院や施設に勤める看護師や保健師の計2万7545人が回答した。

 健康状態の質問で、「疲れが翌日に残ることが多い」(51.2%)、「休日でも回復せず、いつも疲れている」(22.3%)の「慢性疲労」を回答したのは73.5%いた。1988年の調査では66.3%だった。「健康に不安」があると答えた職員も6割を超えた。(月舘彩子)

Apple Media Advisory

Apple Media Advisory

Apple today released the following statement:

Although we have delivered more than 500,000 iPads during its first week, demand is far higher than we predicted and will likely continue to exceed our supply over the next several weeks as more people see and touch an iPad™. We have also taken a large number of pre-orders for iPad 3G models for delivery by the end of April.

Faced with this surprisingly strong US demand, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the international launch of iPad by one month, until the end of May. We will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on Monday, May 10. We know that many international customers waiting to buy an iPad will be disappointed by this news, but we hope they will be pleased to learn the reason―the iPad is a runaway success in the US thus far.
