First let me congradulate Steve Jobs on the creations he has created over the years. I have been following your career since you introduced the "Cube". But lets not forget yesterday's New York Times article on the increasing number of suicides that are occuring at the Apple plant in China. The Times has reported that the sweat shop practices used by the company in China is the result of the many deaths by suicide. The deaths are between 18 and 24 years old. You could only imagine what the working conditions are like for someone to take there own life considering the possiblity of just quiting. Hence if the could not quite then they are slaves. Slaves in China making Apple I-pad, Dells and Hewlitt Packard computers and gadgets.
A few years ago I did a blog on Apple about there China practices. It included an article with pictures. The picture showed a barrack. The beds were lined up row by row. This was the home of the people who worked 16-18 hours a day making the I-Pod. I think Apple should rethink there bottom line or how much they will make this year and start thinking about humanity.
The following is the New York Times article - dated May 26th 2010:
