Für die Aktionäre dürfte das Kleinstauto Nano von Tata Motors mehr Ertrag bringen als das iPad von Apple.

Chinese website Zol — which is owned by CBS Interactive — is reporting that Apple may be moving toward a model of paying Foxconn employees direct subsidies, in the form of small percentages of of the profits from whatever product line they work on. It’s also interesting to note that the report claims that Apple has looked into the situation , and found that the general unhappiness of the workers and the recent spate of suicides could be attributed to low wages. The report says that Apple — which apparently pays Foxconn 2.3 percent of the final retail price for a given product — will pay an additional amount directly to the workers, which would give a significant boost to the roughly $132 they’re currently pulling in per month. The actual payout numbers we’re hearing — around 1 to 2 percent of a retail price of the products manufactured — don’t exactly make sense so we’re hoping to get clarification as to the breakdown if the rumor turns out to be true. The report also states that the iPad production line will be the first to benefit from the scheme.

Think it’s only Apple faithful who are adding an iPad to their gadget cache? According to Chitika Research, that’s not true. The online advertising firm keeps a close eye on which platforms are downloading its ads the most, and it says that Mac computers accounted for 10.3 percent of wasted bandwidth in April. That’s up from 7.4 percent in the January – March timeframe (you know, the pre-iPad era), and Chitika Research Director Daniel Ruby says “90% of that increase was due to the iPad halo effect.” Meanwhile, NPD analyst Stephen Baker believes that the boost is instead thanks to the new MacBook Pro models that were released at the same time, and Technology Business Research analyst Ezra Gottheil says “early data on the iPad indicated that most buyers were already in the Apple club.” Who is right?

You one of those unlucky folks who found out about the iPad’s dislike of low-powered USB ports on standard PCs after you’d already pulled the trigger?
