The correct headline should read: "Apple terminates business with supplier following low demand for iPhone and iPads, blames child labor - which didn't bother it for many-many year - to turn negative PR message into a positive one".

Now those children are out of an Apple job.

This makes no sense whats o ever.

@ Rippleman. As long as it's bashing Apple, he's doing it right. Atleast that seems to be the trend,

No s***, that "company" actually exists? With a name like that, it has to be a front for a religious cult.

Apple terminates itself for overpricing violations.
*sorry, can't help myself.

I hate Apple

You'll fit in here nicely then..

Yes, congrats on getting into the cool crowd. All the cool kids are doing it.

On Apple haters at Rippleman says,

Maybe so, but it isn't without foundation.

With the release of the Mac Mini, Apple brought the under performing home computer to a whole new level. I have to admit that during that process, they did make a truncated cube with a whole new styling "chic". At last people without a clue could take pride in waxing their electronics, and delude themselves they were participating in moving forward into the new electronic frontier.

With the release of the iPhone, Apple brought running your yap on the telephone when you should be paying attention to where you're driving, to a whole new level.

With the release of the iPad, Apple brought dependence on reading electronic to a whole new level.

So, with 3 decades or more of "living" under their belts, (so to speak), my music books are starting to come apart at the seams. Meh, they're paperback, and one supposes made from cheap materials. I can still use them page at a time if I have to. Do you think your basic crappo iPad wil be around 30 or 40 years from now? Or do you think you will have bought a dozen or so more of them?

Use what works for you, and don't force your likes on someone else. Very good rule.

Don't try to lecture me, an even better rule.

practice what you preach, an even greater rule.

OK, let's make a little side bet. How many posts do you think will it take for this "discussion" to reach, "ne, ne, nah, nah, ne, naaah" as your reply?

Is that the best you came up with? Really?

What makes you think you're worth more?

What makes you think I am not? Are you still mad because I won't accept your phone calls? I said from the very begging, webcam only, NO PHONE CALLS! What you and I do on webcam is our digital life and I will not mix business and pleasure no matter how much you say you love me.

Well, to quote Taylor Swift, "we are never ever, getting back together".

Er, yeah, so, er, Chinese kids?

As shitty as the pay and working conditions are in countries that make stuff cheap for us, I wonder how broke your family has gotta be that you need to work 60 hour weeks in a sweat shop, or send your kid off to get cancer in a toxic factory. Might be that western guilt is taking food off their tables. Just a thought.
