Steve Jobs CNBC Interview, 5th Ave. Apple Store

I REMOVE IRRELEVANT YouTube LINKS IN COMMENTS!! DON'T BOTHER!! I BLOCK SUCH USERS!
Apple CEO Steve Jobs interviewed on CNBC to mark the opening of their new 24/365 store on 5th Avenue. LOOK FOR THE ELEVATOR IN THE BACKGROUND! Way cool! But obviously there's a lackey on the street level that has been purposely assigned to operate it for effect. NO ONE COMES DOWN! :P

Apart from people working in factories, Apple is amazing.

@RJWooller But that labour problem is not exclusive to nor started with Apple. That said, Apple could surely withstand the financial impact of starting to make a positive change about it. The USA could surely use the benefit of bringing jobs back to that country.

@Macaholic No, I'm talking about the unethical thing of people working in factories, doing mundane, boring repetative work. Sure you might think that this is okay, but it is bad and children working, child labour. We passed child labour laws in this country, but they don't have them in these countries. And another thing you can't get around is the fact that the work was sent over there to make the ecountries richer. All it has done is exploit a lot of people for little pay.

@RJWooller Not to get into an argument about all this but they don't use CHILDREN; not Foxconn (the company that assembles Apple's and a LONG list of other electronics manufacturers). As for mundane, boring and repetitive factory work being unethical?? Tell that to all the people who've lost jobs in the manufacturing sector across North America. Assembly lines around the world are mundane, boring and repetitive! lol.

And the jobs were not sent there to make THOSE countries richer; they were sent over there to make the shareholders of the American (and other rich nations') companies richer (lower costs) AND to give 1st world nations the cheap products its consumers demanded, not caring where things were made (like shirts in Bangledesh -- now THERE's some child labour for ya). There's a very obvious reason Walmart has become the biggest retailer in the world. It's all about GREED, including consumers.

@americanGTA Google (and Wikipedia) are your friends, man.

Fairfax, Virginia. May 19, 2001.

It would have taken less typing to find the answer than it took to ask the question ;)

I'm still amazed that Apple stores are so busy every time I walk by. IT'S THE SAME PRODUCTS EVERY TIME!!!!
