Buy cheap stuff, ignore where it came from and the consequences of sending your money there. China: Criminal Nation, thanks you. Suckers.

By all means – call the guy for lying and being dis-ingenious. Call the guy for perpetrating untruths.  Call the guy a crook. Call him an arsehole. All of that and more – but please, grow the fuck up and lay off the personal insults. The only serve to lessen your arguments. 

If you’re not overweight then great – good for you. But for those who are (and they are for a number of reasons) it’s just pathetic and childish to demean them for that. 

With the likes of Mike Daisey there’s plenty to say about his performance and his disingenuous behavior – enough to make a clear and succinct point without stooping to demeaning his physical appearance. 

End of rant. 

Now what’s the title of the real article?
“In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad”

The title targets explicitly Apple’s top selling device. Where does it say that other manufacturers are also involved? You have to comb through the article to find that out.

So no they didn’t handle it truthfully and honestly. Try again…

Really, what would you expect from and a company run by thieves. Unfortunately you don’t have to have morals to be successful.

In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad
By CHARLES DUHIGG and DAVID BARBOZA
Published: January 25, 2012
The New York Times

“The story so far: Last month, The New York Times published a front-page article highlighting working conditions at a factory in China owned by Foxconn Technology, where Apple’s products are built. The problems included fatal accidents and employees injured while using a toxic chemical that can cause nerve damage. (Although Apple is the poster child for Foxconn, just about all of our electronics are made in the same Chinese factories, as the Times article noted. Foxconn also builds products for Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Intel, I.B.M., Lenovo, Microsoft, Motorola, Netgear, Nintendo, Nokia and Vizio. The Xbox, the PlayStation and the Amazon Kindle are made here.) The article set off a firestorm of protest, petitions and demonstrations.”

“Apple is the poster child for the conditions at the Foxconn factory, and no wonder: it’s the most profitable electronics company. It makes a big, spectacular target. There’s an important factor, however, that seems to be largely missing from the conversation, though it was noted in the article: Apple isn’t the only company that builds electronics at Chinese factories. The truth is, almost all of them do.

Foxconn’s other clients are a Who’s Who of popular electronics. They build cellphones, TVs, computers, e-book readers, routers, circuit boards, game consoles and on and on. Its customers include Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Intel, I.B.M., Lenovo, Microsoft, Motorola, Netgear, Nintendo, Nokia, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, Sony and Vizio.”

I think you need to issue a retraction. The Times handled it truthfully and honestly- despite the outcry of fanbois who have never held the NYT in their hand once, yet attacked a paper they do not read.

(that was sarcastic — just in case your coffee is cold)

Obviously, this news is a fake. This China facility must be actually making products for Apple, as all of China plants.

(And, by the way, it was Apple who came up with that slavery thing from the past — if you did not know.)
