Look at what America's own capitalist ideology has done to us. Not only ruin our economy and deprive fellow citizens of their jobs, but also support the most powerful communist country on earth and possibly our largest enemy to no bounds. Fuck The U.S. Fuck the illuminati!
not to say that i think it is right. however, most of that gear at 3:26 was made in china. under the same conditions.
to go after apple, solely, is wrong. 7:24 comment on the oil companies is out of place and incorrect. while her heart is in the right place, most of the things that she says is wrong.
foxconn is known to have bad conditions. however, making components and boards components requires nasty chemicals. also, american factories in many industries have higher suicide rates.
why are we blaming the companies? We should blame the countries that allow this to take place in their country. These companies aren't the first- there are clothing brands & much more that do the same.
This is nothing new and im sorry but everyone had to see this before the story broke. When ever a company is making the amount of money that apple was pulling in from the release of the first Ipod i knew it was coming from cheap azz laber from overseas workings. I mean the same thing happen to microsoft when they were cashing out Billions back in the 90's. Cnet was the main Tech site giving all prise to Apple when the new apple device was rumored and now they want to act like this is a shook.
Apple does NOT give a rats arse about the workers there. Apple is after PROFIT. GREED by Apple... massive profits, squeezing suppliers, squeezing employees. Make no mistake Apple is an evil company.. satanic. Terry Gao is son of satan, doing his master's work under a reward of massive profits for himself. NOTE: I do not own any Apply products, and I advise no one else to buy Apple products if you have an ounce of humanity in you.
after watching this video this confirms that Apple is Greedy. maybe I should of got the Kindle Fire instead of the iPad2 and saved myself 300 Dollars.
this is an unfortunate situation but every who bashes apple is full of shit...they're NOT the only company outsourcing their product...and some of you need to stop acting like you're a saint because i doubt those of you who are bashing apple buy products only made in your country....w'e're ALL guilty of supporting these companies by buying their products
@INFAMOUSeddie707 No, but Apple make insane profits whilst squeezing suppliers dry. IBM is also noted as a morally bankrupt company. They sacked half of their worldwide staff, so the CEO Louis Gerstner could profit hundreds of millions of dollars out of share options. Those he got rid of, he did so at the lower possible barely legal cost. I NEVER buy IBM or Apple products. None of them are in my home and visitors are instructed to leave their iPhones or iPads at the door.
@creativeengineer Since you seem to hold a moral high ground. any ideas where I can find a moral and ethical corporation that does no wrong, causes no harm to the earth whilst at the same time produces smartphones?
“The only way you make money working for Apple is figuring out how to do things more efficiently or cheaper,” said an executive at one company that helped bring the iPad to market. “And then they’ll come back the next year, and force a 10 percent price cut.”
This is root of the problem...right out of the article:
Apple typically asks suppliers to specify how much every part costs, how many workers are needed and the size of their salaries. Executives want to know every financial detail. Afterward, Apple calculates how much it will pay for a part. Most suppliers are allowed only the slimmest of profits. So suppliers often try to cut corners..push their employees to work faster and longer, according to people at those companies.
@TheJKC1388 “The only way you make money working for Apple is figuring out how to do things more efficiently or cheaper,” said an executive at one company that helped bring the iPad to market. “And then they’ll come back the next year, and force a 10 percent price cut.”
The problem is China. Close Foxconn & they go back to their villages & starve. People forget that theire were those types of conditions in USA once. Change has to come from within China with pressure from companies. But to just blame Apple is stupid.
It's not just China. It's not just Apple. The plans for this Orwellian monstrosity we call modern production were developed decades ago in agreements between eastern & western governments, and modern companies are taking advantage of it. I saw it as a young US soldier 20 years ago clearing mines from Thai factory cities (why were we there?). It's in the far east today, but this is what the west can look forward to in the future. Our corporate-government masters are laughing at us right now.
@ChuckSeverson You are absolutely right. Look at Nike, Gap....it's happening over and over again. Western companies like Apple keeps $0.99 out of every dollar and pay a pretty penny to workers who actually made the product.
unbelievable... the person who report this article doesn't work like people in factories and earn a lot of money than those people... stop talking all bullshit and contribute your work.
The workers live to work there,not vice versa.Just imagine putting one chip for 18h-6d a week,it is human slave labor,almost like the concentration camps.If you think other companies moving to Vietnam are better,think again.Apple is the famous tip /o iceberg,all corporations do these kind of violat of human rights.Only way to stop it,is to personally NOT buy the slave labor products.There are or there should not be second rate citizens in year 2012.Yet this channel promotes Apple all the time.
I had no clue the conditions were that drastic. More people should know about this. Apple talks a big game about innovating for the future and making the world a better place but this completely contradicts their incentives. Apple really has no shame in blood money profit. Until they really address this I won't look at apple the same.
It's been 2 years since I first warned about the conditions under which the Apple products were manufactured. But who cared? Jobs said if their products were made in the US he would never have had the succes they have now cos Americans are a non productive country. At that time A Chineseworking for Foxconn earned about 72$ a month producing Iphones at the cost of 137$ sold 600$ to 700$ which means they could have let Americans made the phones and still make a good profitSo sad but true...
I have a Philips LCD tv and a PS3(first run) I know my hands aren't clean, but I hope they're not that dirty. I don't carry a cell phone at all! But the real problem is that this wa a major story like 2+ years ago and only now is getting attention!!!! Look up what Steve Jobs said about the suicide rate at Foxconn!!!
@arulanandcisco iphones can indeed be made here in the U.S . .... however outsourcing saves the american companies a ton of money...learn before you post ridiculous comments
Apple needs to continuing pushing for improvement. This kind of bad news can do so much harm. Learn from other companies how much this kind of news have cost them. foxconn needs apple and would not want apple to start sending business elsewhere.
I can't wait for people to pressure Apple to improve their working conditions (and therefore reduce employment and increase poverty) and then feel good about themselves. Oh the bliss of ignorance...
I'm shocked .thats sucks I love my iPhone But this has to be fixed some how I can't co sign for this. I should have known it was to good to be true. Greed
WE SHOULD ALL PROTEST AGAINST THIS VIOLATIONS!! IT IS COSTING LIVES!! I LOVE APPLE PRODUCTS BUT I DON'T WHAT PEOPLE TO DIE TO MAKE THIS LUXURY "TOYS"!!! IT'S RIDICULOUS!
Apple is the best. I am an Apple fanboy that will believe anything Apple tells me. Apple is my religion and Steve Jobs is my Jesus. I will buy anything with an Apple logo on it even if it a dog turd shaped into an Apple logo. Apple invented everything and revolutionized the universe. Without Apple, we wouldn't have computers, cell phones, internet, automobiles, televisions, or even electricity. Apple invented everything and everyone else copied. You must believe in Steve Jobs, he is like Jesus.
