More Quakes For Taiwan

Posted by Roblimo on from the shaky-business dept.

E-Rock writes " Looks like another couple of quakes hit Taiwan. [The story's from CNN.com.] Just when I thought RAM prices were able to return to reality." There's also the people who work in those factories, who are having a rough time of it right now. I wonder if there's a Taiwan Electronics Industry Workers' Relief Fund or something like that. I'd kick in a few bucks.

    I can't believe this. There's more to Taiwan than RAM and the electronics industry or even just people in the electronics industry. Like ... people in general, you know what I mean?

    If an earthquake hit Silicon Valley (and I'd hate to see that, since I'm living around there now), I can't imagine /. posting an article saying 'Oh, there goes our software and other cool gadgets.'

    Show some sensitivity. Please.

    The Red Cross' International Response Fund goes to this sort of thing. Here's an article about what they did to help during Taiwan quake in September.
