01 IDG: Salaries & Skills: Autism & iPads
Data breaches, cyber-threats and fraud In the logical,
numbers-based world of software, Autistics can thrive. SAP has
realised it, so why haven't the other tech giants? This week we look
at the tech industry and the IT skills it needs - exploring why the
tech giants don't employ more autistic people, getting personal
insight into what tech can do for those with autism, and where the
tech industry stands today in terms of skills and salary. What do you
think - are autistic people perfect for the IT industry?

11 Dispose of unwanted electronic devices
Many of you may have seen our post about recycling electronics.
http://www.ugnn.com/2012/10/recycle/
Thanks to reader P. Bryant who writes
I'm working on a project to help spread awareness about
electronic recycling. Here is a program that helps the environment by
providing a safe way to dispose of unwanted electronic devices. There
is also an incentive to receive a gift card with each donation. I
think it would be really helpful to spread the word about this and
other recycling programs. I really appreciate you taking the time to
create and maintain your wonderful site. Keep up the great work!
