The difference is that most companies associated with such facilities and disgusting lack of regard for employee health in such far away places are selling items on a cut-throat margin of pennies.

But Apple are selling items with huge markups when it comes to iPhone/Pad/Pod touch. So they should ensure some of those profits are used to monitor the practices of all their partners and not tarnish their image.

Weird! :-o :) I should be more careful when eating deep fried balls of formless god-knows-what in a chinese restaurant. :(


Should get her to cook it at home where you can hand pick the ingredients ;)

Once you get your head around the iPad as content-viewing device and not content-creation device, the iPad makes sense.  Once the newspapers and magazines, and book publishers get on board its popularity will grow. Murdoch has already said viewing newspapers online will not be free.


Well he's the only one that thinks that, BBC news will always be free, and a little more professional compared to the toilet paper Murdoch sells to lowbrow commoners all over the UK as a newspaper :)

The iPad's biggest problem is the fact it is not running a proper full blown OS, it's too small for some tasks and too big for other tasks. Because it has an Apple badge it will sell. But ultimately instead of an OS X touch tablet I think this is a mistake.....except for them as the Appstore goes Kerchings many millions of times more an hour ;)

The simple truth is.. people in the west want luxury goods for absurdly low prices. Those prices mean someone has to be exploited to produce said good.


The only time I've seen remotely cheap Apple products is when they have a cracked screen!

Low prices <> Apple...they're the king of overcharging! There is plenty of scope within Apple's OTT profit margins to take their business elsewhere. We are not talking about cheap tacky ASUS netbooks here made on a hairline profit margin really.
