Microsoft Closing Two Phone Factories In China

randomErr writes: Microsoft is closing two factories in China by the end of March. About 9,000 people worked in these factories, and those jobs were cut a while back as part of the company's major restructuring after its Nokia purchase. Much of the equipment located in these factories from Beijing and the southeastern city of Dongguan is being shipped to Vietnam.

sure this will get downvoted to offtopic but i think it very much is part of the topic of the community. Design changes.
Slashdot implemented beta and it failed, so instead of leaving that which isnt broken alone they decided to slowly, quietly roll out beta in a boiled-frog approach. posting is sinisterly difficult, tracking replies or just general community discussions has been made more cumbersome, and no offer to revert to the old, unbroken ui has been made.

If you dont like this change, if you dont like slashdot pushing this turd of a design without so much as a second thought to the community that generates its revenue, if you like the old slashcode, check out http://soylentnews.org/
