4. Yep, it ain't just Apple.

Everything Made in China is tainted. I think Apple makes an easy target because of the obvious success of the corporation combined with the persona that developed around them that they were somehow more hip & compassionate than your average company. Which is of course a sad joke. They like so many others are only in it for the short term and care nothing for horrible abuses against powerless employees or long range environmental issues.
Until we can all adjust our spending and investing habits to actually put our money where our mouth is and live as "progressive liberals" these stories will have to do and my hope is more people can become aware of what they are supporting when they trade a belief in human rights for a shiny gadget.
