Cazador Mod Unit Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 foxconn looks like a fun place to work http://www.dailymail...-make-iPod.html I read something similar about a US Amazon warehouse (minus the horrifying slavery) a couple of days ago. According to Wikipedia Foxconn makes consumer electronics for a number of well-known companies, including: Acer Inc. (Taiwan) Amazon.com (United States)[16] Apple Inc. (United States)[17] Asus (Taiwan) ASRock (Taiwan) Intel (United States) Cisco (United States) Hewlett-Packard (United States)[18] Dell (United States) Nintendo (Japan) Nokia (Finland)[17] Microsoft (United States) MSI (Taiwan) Motorola (United States) Sony Ericsson (Japan/Sweden)[19] Vizio (United States) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazen Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Steven Fry does a pretty good write up http://www.stephenfry.com/2011/10/06/steve-jobs/ Henry Ford didn’t invent the motor car, Rockefeller didn’t discover how to crack crude oil into petrol, Disney didn’t invent animation, the Macdonald brothers didn’t invent the hamburger, Martin Luther King didn’t invent oratory, neither Jane Austen, Tolstoy nor Flaubert invented the novel and D. W. Griffith, the Warner Brothers, Irving Thalberg and Steven Spielberg didn’t invent film-making. Steve Jobs didn’t invent computers and he didn’t invent packet switching or the mouse. But he saw that there were no limits to the power that creative combinations of technology and design could accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hey yikes - what computer are you using? I'm almost willing to bet that it has parts made overseas. Why are you contributing to murder? Foxconn makes products for lots of companies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn#Clients But it's fun to single out apple cause they are shiny and in the news. There are also around a million workers in the company. In 2010 - 18 people committed suicide, for a rate of around 1.8 per 100,000. By comparison, the national rate in China is higher than 13 per 100,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Richard Stallman: Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died.As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." Nobody deserves to have to die - not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing. Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can only hope his successors, as they attempt to carry on his legacy, will be less effective.

oscillik Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 stallman's open-source zealotry can get very tiresome at times. Jesus wept Stallman is an asshole. most zealots usually are. open-source/FOSS guys are amongst some of the worst though. had to end a long friendship with someone because his cult-like diatribe against my choices as a musican (using proprietary tools because they do what i need them to do) just finally rubbed my rhubarb for the last time.

By comparison, the national rate in China is higher than 13 per 100,000. I could swear I read the same exact lines from a PR release or something. Apple boss Steve Jobs has spoken out for the first time about a string of suicides at one of the firm's Chinese factories. Since January this year 10 young workers have killed themselves by jumping from the roof of the factory building at Foxconn in southern China. Jobs today described the worker's deaths as 'troubling' but insisted that the factory 'is not a sweatshop'. Read more: http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz1a6bVFUHc An investigation of the 500,000 workers by the Centre for Research on Multinational Companies and Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (Sacom) found appalling conditions in the factories. They claimed that: Excessive overtime was rife, despite a legal limit of 36 hours a month. One payslip showed a worker did 98 hours of overtime in one month, the Observer reported. During peak periods of demand for the iPad, workers were made to take only one day off in 13. Badly performing workers were humiliated in front of colleagues. Workers are banned from talking and are made to stand up for their 12-hour shifts. Read more: http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz1a6brssTZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
