Clearly Australia needs better Bow and Arrow control laws...

"homeowners who have let a building contractor into their homes to upgrade their kitchens, thus giving permission for the contractor to demolish and change parts of the houses." - okay, but the intent is that that upgrade will improve the kitchen on how it looks and functions...I've had my renovations done on my home and in each instance the contractors have noted that "if we do X, then this is what happens to Y, do you still want to do X". . . I've never had a contractor make the executive decision that in order to bring hot water more efficiently to the kitchen they'll just reduce the flow of it to other parts of the house and I'll just have to live with not having a hot shower...Apple essentially made that executive decision and felt like they didn't need to inform user of what they would be giving up in order to have improved battery performance or that without the update and reduced performance there would be safety issue with the battery...it wasn't an unforeseen side effect, Apple knew what they were doing and consciously decided against transparency to the end user. Users have free will and should decide if they want to stay with Apple knowing where they stand as customers and the lack of transparency

I get the story they're building around enriching lives through education but if it didn't lead to increase sales and upselling they wouldn't be carrying the additional salaries and overhead needed to support the initiative.

whoa, are you telling me that a communist country is mistreating it's people...now ay, I refuse to believe that is happening or has ever happened.

if you have issues with what's happening in China, then move the factory to the US

In other news that company will no longer be contracted by Apple if the story is true. Apple takes these things very seriously.

Really? When will we see Apple fire Foxconn?
They are repeat offenders and I don’t see anyone taking their business away from them. 

Links?

just google 'apple mistreatment of workers' - these factories are still employed by Apple
