> As more companies allow and even encourage employees to use their own phones and tablets for work activities, often referred to as "bring your own device," or BYOD, an unexpected consequence has arisen for workers who have seen their devices wiped clean—remotely and with little or no advance warning—during or after employment by firms looking to secure their data. Twenty-one percent of companies perform remote wipes when an employee quits or is terminated, according to a July 2013 survey by data protection firm Acronis Inc.

> If you’re the kind of person who wants a keyboard for your iPad Air for extended writing, the Zagg is a great solution, one I feel I can really recommend. It combines some form of protection for the front of the Air with a solid typing experience, substantially better than the Logitech in my opinion.

> On its first day, Beats Music looks very promising. The interface is polished, the curation seems solid, social networking is well thought-out, and the library nicely stocked. It’s entirely worth your while to give the seven day trial a spin.

> The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York on Tuesday granted Apple a hearing on whether to stop the monitor, Michael Bromwich, from doing his job while the company pursues a formal appeal, which could last several months.

> In granting an "administrative stay," the 2nd Circuit said a three-judge panel would hear Apple's motion for a stay pending appeal as soon as possible.

*** Dumpling Party Marks Korean New Year With Hundreds Of Mandu And Dozens Of Eaters ***

Cathy Barrow, Washington Post


> Grace Hong is pretty sure her mother would be appalled. Not at the fact that she and her husband celebrate the new year with traditional lucky mandu, dumplings made the Korean way. But possibly at every other aspect of their celebration. With 600 dumplings, 60 guests and an unmentionable amount of wine and beer, the annual fete they call Dumplingfest violates most, if not all, of her mother’s holiday traditions.




*** The Cult Of Overwork ***

> Thirty years ago, the best-paid workers in the U.S. were much less likely to work long days than low-paid workers were. By 2006, the best paid were twice as likely to work long hours as the poorly paid, and the trend seems to be accelerating. A 2008 Harvard Business School survey of a thousand professionals found that ninety-four per cent worked fifty hours or more a week, and almost half worked in excess of sixty-five hours a week. Overwork has become a credential of prosperity.
