"This is the only philanthropy I agree with. Donating 21 billion dollars to making homes for the homeless and giving food only diminishes the hardwork of those who grow food and earn their own houses."

Yeah. Because people that are homeless and/or hungry are all lazy.


Just curious as to anyone thinks maybe it's possible that life for FOXCONN workers has actually IMPROVED because of their Apple contracts? FOXCONN manufactured things for loads of companies worldwide long before the iPhone came along, it's just that no one cared then. I suspect none of you would care now if Apple weren't making RIM it's b!7ch.

Just something to think about.


Edited to add Bravo!!!! to the Lazardis's for such a generous donation. Hard to overstate the importance of mathematics and the hard physical sciences.
