Weird.

That article has words in it, but they make absolutely no sense.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought that…

Worth $275bn to who?

I’m certain this mainly benefited the Chinese government since the article speaks to the Chinese economy needing help.

I’m an Apple fan but Apple has definitely been caught using slave labour, and I’ve seen no evidence they have removed all slave labour from their supply chain.  Remember all the suicides at Foxconn too?  The conditions they work in are not great. 

Foxconn's suicide rate was lower than the national average in China. Foxconn worker pay also far exceeded rural worker pay, which is why people go there to work. 

Can you link us to the "slave labor" data? 

They can't.

Also, proving a negative is a logical fallacy.

Ehh… take your pick…

's not like they had a choice.

They always have a choice… but they choose political and monetary profit over freedom of speech. 

"Free Speech" is an American concept.

Apple has to obey the laws of the country it is operating in -- in this case Russia.  

Just as it should not and does not invoke Russian law on Americans it should not and does not invoke American law on Russians.

I said nothing about invoking American law on Russians, all I said is that Apple is all about making a statement when it’s in their interest political or monetary interest. They want global equality but not at the cost of their profits. Truth. 

I am running into the same problem. Verizon is HORRIBLE! been on the phone with VCS and said it was all taken care of only to be left with two watches without cellular! They keep saying to activate it through my watch… grrrr 

Headline say M4 iPad but last line reads M3 iPad….
