Violent Protests Erupt at Apple's Main iPhone Plant in China.

Snip> "The protest started overnight over unpaid wages and fears of spreading infection, according to the witness, asking to remain anonymous for fear of repercussions. Several workers were injured and anti-riot police arrived on the scene Wednesday to restore order, the person added."

One of the reasons you shouldn't buy Apple products.

Try to get other people not to. It's a tough sell.

Not that there are any really great choices out there but so far I have managed to avoid Apple.

The slave labor is only one issue. The fact that Apple gouges you for necessary items like chargers and plugs is absurd given the price of their products.
