Apple report: Chinese workers unhappy as they put together your cheaper iPhone
Bloomberg
A report by nonprofit China Labor Watch said Apple's supplier Pegatron is working employees long hours for little pay.
A report out today by New York-based nonprofit China Labor Watch looked into the working conditions of Apple?s Chinese supplier, Pegatron.
It revealed two pieces of news, one intentionally and one probably less so.
First, the report highlighted Pegatron?s less-than-desirable working conditions at three different factories in China. As in, 11-hour days, six days a week, making about $1.50 an hour. It?s kind of a black eye considering Apple made a big fanfare of investigating its supply chain to improve working conditions.
Both Apple and Pegatron said they would investigate the allegations.
The other revealing detail on the report? Employees working those ridiculous hours are currently building that rumored cheaper iPhone. The report references the new iPhone throughout (well, and the title is ?Apple?s unkept promises: Cheap iPhones come at high costs to Chinese workers?). It also mentioned the low-priced phone is plastic and will soon be released on the market. (Venturebeat does a nice job pulling out all those references here.)

Google Unveils Revamped Zagat Website, Apps
Google today launched the first major update to Zagat since the search giant acquired it in Sept. 2011, updating the website and accompanying mobile apps.
Most notably, this also marks the first time Zagat content is available to all users for free, with no registration required.
The new Zagat features news and videos from local editors, as well as curated lists ("10 Hidden Restaurant Gardens Around DC"), powerful search, and map-based browsing, according to group product manager Gannon Hall.
"These days, the challenge in deciding where to go is not about a lack of information or user reviews, but finding accurate information and trusted opinions so you can quickly make informed decisions," Hall said in a blog post. "You can rely on Zagat's curated lists and summary reviews to cut through the clutter so you can find the perfect spot."
Foodies in Austin, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and London will get the first taste of the updated Zagat, which will soon roll out to 50 more U.S. and international destinations, with more options like shopping, hotels, and other places of interest.
In advance of its expansion, the company will soon make existing ratings and reviews available on Zagat.com.
The updated Zagat mobile app is available now for free download in the Google Play store and the Apple iTunes Store.
Google picked up the famed site almost two years ago, with the intent of collaborating to "bring the power of Google search and Google Maps to [Zagat's] products and users, and to bring their innovation, trust and wealth of experience to our users," Google said at the time.
Google integrated Zagat into Google+ in May 2012 via the Google+ Local app. Last week, however, Google said the iOS version of G+ Local would retire on Aug. 7 since all of the app's features have since been incorporated into Google Maps.
Discover the new Zagat in the company's video below.

CBS President on Cote de Pablo Leaving NCIS: We REALLY Tried...
NCIS fans are still coming to grips with the news:
Cote de Pablo is leaving the series. She will appear on the Season 11 premiere to tie up Ziva's storyline and then go her own way.
And at today's CBS presentation at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, network President Les Moonves made it clear: money was definitely NOT the issue.
"We offered Cote de Pablo a lot of money" Moonves said. "And then we offered her even more money... We really didn?t want to lose her, we love her. We think she?s terrific... Ultimately she decided she didn?t want to do the show. It was her decision... We don?t like losing anybody. We did everything humanly possible [and] exhausted every possibility.?
So there you have it, readers.
Opposite new competition in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and The Originals, NCIS Season 11 kicks off on Tuesday, September 24. It's unknown at this time how Ziva will be written out.
But bring some Kleenex.

Israel Stiffs EU in Response to Boycott
In response to the EU directive that forbid its members from cooperating, giving money, scholarships, or research grants to organizations in Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon ordered that any request from the European Union regarding Judea, Samaria, and Gaza be turned down.
A spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, Maja Kocijancic, responded to Yaalon by saying, "The EU is concerned by reports in the Israeli media that the Israeli Minister of Defense has announced a number of restrictions affecting EU activities supporting the Palestinian people.?
She said, "We have not received any official communication from the Israeli authorities. Our delegations on the spot are seeking urgent clarifications.?
Just in the last week, several funding projects the EU wanted to implement in the Palestinian Authority have been nixed by Israel as well as eight requests by EU officials to travel into PA-assigned areas.
