How are you liking that new iPad? To die for, is it?

Second, Foxconn probably made 70% of the hardware in your house right now... so lets not smear Apple with this one...

Commodore used them, too. Take a look at the ports and connectors next time your Amiga is open


Check out Jon Stewart's bit on Apple from the iPhone-prototype-lost-in-bar news cycle. To summarize/paraphrase: "It wasn't supposed to be this way! You're kicking down people's doors while Commandant Gates is ridding the world of mosquitoes!"

It is sad. I do like my new iPad quite a bit, but it saddens me to know that people are suffering in those factories to build the digital things we desire. I guess that's just 'business-as-usual' overseas. Watch the Walmart documentary, it really woke me up. These people are basically living at the factories, have to pay rent to live there, if they live outside they are still forced to pay rent.. How could another human being knowingly treat another like this, and be ok with it?

Just like American mining companies in the 19th century. I wonder what will happen to the global economy once worldwide worker safety standards match those that we have in the West.
