Working conditions in China you'd not hear about in cHindu

cHindu praises cHina as much as artists praise the Mona Lisa (maybe this is not the right analogy).
However a spate of recent "incidents" in cHinese factories have caused concern there. Most recently in factories where the iPhone and the iPad were being manufactured. But this would not bother cHindu from being balanced and reporting the concerns. After all those are activities a Left-wing newspaper would do, being bothered with the working conditions etc.
The massive Foxconn factory in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen is known for assembling famous electronic goods like Apple's iPhone and iPad. But in recent months it has gained a darker image, as a place where distraught workers regularly throw themselves to their deaths. The latest fatality came on Tuesday morning, when a 19-year-old employee died in a fall in the company's Shenzhen compound, according to the state-run Xinhua news service.

The article details the pitiable conditions some of the workers are forced to work in,
Working conditions at Foxconn's factories have been under scrutiny for years. The attention was heightened in 2009 when 25-year-old employee Sun Danyong, who had been accused by management of losing an iPhone prototype, jumped to his death from his apartment in Shenzhen. Chinese press reports said Sun, who grew up in a poor village in Yunnan province and attended the top-rated Harbin Institute of Technology, might have been physically abused by company security guards searching for the missing device. The company pays most of its assembly-line workers in Shenzhen the city's minimum wage of $130 a month, and many work significant overtime hours in order to maximize their incomes.

cHindu celebrates Pak banning computers

cHindu celebrates the 1 day anniversary of Pakistan banning computers. The ban extends to sites like Facebook and Youtube.
Social networking website Facebook has been blocked in Pakistan for the rest of the month following a court order in the wake of protests over an ‘Everybody Draw Mohammad Day' contest.

Paki-lover SV said, no one should bother about Facebook as long as cHindu's website is available.

cHindu proves photos of Neanderthal-human union results

In what can be claimed as an incredible scientific breakthrough investigative journalists at cHindu proved what many could only conjecture. Answer the question of did Neanderthals and modern humans interbreed?
Researchers compared DNA sequences of Neanderthals obtained from bones found in different locations with those of five present-day humans — from southern Africa, West Africa, France, China, and Papua New Guinea. Though there is evidence of gene flow from Neanderthals to modern humans, the level of flow is relatively low. According to the researchers, the low level of gene flow indicates that interbreeding may have been “very limited.” However, there is no evidence of a reverse flow.

Giving photographic evidence below, cHindu claimed,
We now know they shared ancestors — and that Neanderthals resembled present-day humans more closely than was believed.
