Do you want to buy Apple Dell or Sony?

Epidemic suicide rate in factory

It might be common in China, but I think Apple has a duty to improve conditions here, as the leading tech company in the world.

Oh, that again, eh. I'm about plowed under with that story.

I buy Sony anyway. Don't want to know the rest beyond that, don't care. I just like Sony stuff.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.

Yes I guess this is common in ChIna and nothing good will come out of it, if the production was moved .
Standards will raise in China with economic growth anyway. Moving the production to the USA would be too expensive right? All of this stuff will be produced in Asia until it its more profitable to produce it elsewhere. And no one else can compete with that.
Workers in Europe and USA are spoiled and overpaid -compared to that. We just will have to wait until the Chinese get spoiled and overpaid :D

To be honest, I've been watching this story for a while, and I don't think money is all there is to it. I think there's something we're not being told in the media.
