iPhone and iPad factory workers die on production line and sleep in cement cells

This was in the the Sidney Morning Herald, but I don't think it has appeared in this forum yet: The dark side of Apple: one man's monologue of misery

Mike Daisey's interviews with Techcrunch were excellent:

They don't have any more or less problems than anything other phone. What they offer is simplicity, which to me translates into a boring product that can't be customized.

But to each their own. They do have some interesting software, which is good for an "amaze your friends" demo, but that's where it ends.

Don't worry The Manufacturer of Apples products has a Plan to bring in 1 Million robots to remove the need for so many workers,

Not even the lowly paid workers can compete against robots...

Did you specifically create an account to just make apple hate posts?

As much as I deplore the reports (and it's nothing new, we've been hearing about this for quite a while), and as much as I'm not an Apple fan, I must point out that this isn't solely an Apple issue in which the article seems to place a substantial amount of focus.

Here's a list of companies who also use the same manufacturer for their products...

• Acer Inc. (Taiwan)
• Amazon.com (United States)
• Apple Inc. (United States)
• ASRock (Taiwan)
• Intel (United States)
• Cisco (United States)
• Hewlett-Packard (United States)
• Dell (United States)
• Nintendo (Japan)
• Nokia (Finland)[17]
• Microsoft (United States)
• MSI (Taiwan)
• Motorola (United States)
• Sony Ericsson (Japan/Sweden)
• Vizio (United States)

Guess he forgot about every nexus device being released having tons of problems as well. That happens across every platform. And the 4S doesn't have lots of mass problems. I don't know where you're getting this from.

Brandon--you have a Jesus phone--ergo you are going to be biased, and it shows.

All I'm doing is showing it happens to all new released devices they aren't perfect not one. That isn't a Jesus phone mentality I didn't say oh the iPhone is the best, and I never claim it to be better then anyone else's preferred smartphone choice. You are intitled to your own opinion of course but you have nothing backing up the statement you just made besides being mad I'm defending my preferred platform just like you often do yourself.

And he also owned Android devices, including the Nexus S. What is your point? Since when is saying "this happens to other devices as well" being bias?

Are you going to deny the Nexus One had problems (terrible cell radio)? Aren't people having problems with the Bionic with that "hissing" noise? Come on Dave...

It's not like your posts since going Android have been any better.

First of all, it's not a "hiss"; it's a "whine". Secondly, the leaked OS update has apparently fixed the issue, so no big deal. Currently, all one has to do is either: 1) use BT instead of a cable, 2) use an attenuator ($10 at Radio Shack) or like I do, set the switch on my QC15's to "LO". problem solved. The update is supposed to go out to users in November.

Of course I'm biased. Dude--did I ever say I wasn't?? I don't like iOS and I despise BB phones. that should be clear and for which I make no apology. If you don't like my opinions on the subject, simply put me on "ignore".

I'm NOT going to include a smiley with THIS post, unlike the one I put on my post to Brandon...

I am calm.

However, I am annoyed right now that only one football game is being shown on TV.

I used to watch two TV's at once during football season. I watched so much football for so many years, that I got burnt out. and I didn't watch a moment of the recent World Series, either. Last year, however, I watched all of the WS, because SF was in it.
