Guest Mirezzi Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 http://www.smh.com.a...0902-1jov1.html BEIJING, China: As the rest of the world waxes nostalgic with tributes and accolades for Apple's retiring CEO Steve Jobs, the factory workers in China who got sick while making Apple's touchscreens remain unmoved. Six months ago, factory workers in Suzhou poisoned two years ago by toxic chemicals at the factory wrote to Jobs directly, asking for his help in getting medical care and compensation for their illnesses and lost work time. They never got an answer from Jobs. Two years after the chemical exposure and many months of medical treatment later, they still say they've never heard from anyone at Apple directly. In fact, it took Apple more than a year to acknowledge that 137 workers got sick on the job in 2009 at a components factory run by the Taiwanese electronics supplier Wintek, working under contract with Apple. The Wintek parts factory substituted hexane for alcohol in the manufacturing process to shave time off production of Apple touchscreens, but failed to outfit workers with proper safety equipment. Dozens fell ill, many were hospitalised for months, and several say they still suffer symptoms of nerve damage, like numb hands and feet, from exposure to the chemical. While Apple pronounced the situation resolved in its most recent Supplier Responsibility report, former factory workers say those who are still sick can no longer get medical care.

oscillik Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 that image has been photoshopped up the wazoo. c'mon people. look at the 'hairs' on his face in that original image posted a couple pages back in this thread. someone photoshopped those in there and didn't even change the size of the brush they were using from stroke to stroke. no one has hair growing on their face in all those parallel lines like that. looks just like a painting. i'm sure they just shopped steves face onto some real cancer patients body and all that weird facial hair photoshopping is where they are trying to cover over where they blended the 2 images together. have you seen the footage of him from the last WWDC? he's dangerously thin. that's a fact.
