The two just plain belong together. So why has a pizza factory fired three employees over a little bit of on the job ooh-la-la-look-at-her? And why can't they settle the resulting (so far) five week strike?

Word has it that the reason those three Green Isle Foods employees were terminated is "improper use of the company's IT system, including the spreading of adult material." I don't know if that's code for "They sent a few links and pics!" or "They set up a mini studio by the assembly line!" Either way, I'm kinda concerned about how this whole strike will affect my late night snacking. [Leinster Leader]

There's something about precision, large-scale automation, even when the technology isn't necessary cutting edge, that's even more telling of our technological place in the world than sleek touchscreen phones and GPS navigators. Notice the eerie lack of humans, the cold airshot of sauce onto crust and the phallic towers of pepperoni being diced to scraps by machines. Has Man sold his soul to the robots so soon? And just for some crappy frozen pizzas? [BBC via MAKE]
