I’m a small dude with girl hands and holding the iPhone 5 in my hand I can still see some room where a slightly larger phone would still be manageable. The even larger phablet class model probably wouldn’t work well for me.

This is where regulation gets stupid (and I’m all for regulation). Both the US and EU are looking at the Apple/Beats deal to see if it’s anti-competitive. A 5-year-old would take 2 minutes to tell you there are plenty of other headphones and speaker manufacturers and digital music streaming services. What the fuck is there to investigate? :x

And some attendee got kicked out for yelling something out about the fact that Google is heavily invested in a company that does robotics for the military.

But yeah, Apple is the evil company we should all be concerned about. The purest form of evil is a company that sells products you can’t afford. :x

the evil in apple is the abuse to the chinese workers all those years that is why i don't own a single apple product
the payback is they attempt to make apple products in texas and we know how lazy they are because they are taking forever to roll final products off the assembly line

You do realize that most of the electronics you use are made in the exact same factories, right?

Foxconn also manufactures for these companies

Acer Inc. (Taiwan)
Amazon.com (United States)
Apple Inc. (United States)
ASRock (Taiwan)
Asus (Taiwan)
Barnes & Noble (United States)
Cisco (United States)
Dell (United States)
EVGA Corporation (United States)
Hewlett-Packard (United States)
Intel (United States)
IBM (United States)
Lenovo (China)
Logitech (Switzerland)
Microsoft (United States)
MSI (Taiwan)
Motorola (United States)
Netgear (United States)
Nintendo (Japan)
Nokia (Finland)
Panasonic (Japan)
Philips (Netherlands)
Samsung (South Korea)
Sharp (Japan)
Sony Ericsson (Japan/Sweden)
Toshiba (Japan)
Vizio (United States)


I hope you take the same high ground with those companies and get rid of all their products you own with a quickness.


I don't know why haters completely ignore that fact. :x

FLA found poor results with apple not microsoft samsung and the suicides during the xbox 360 drama was due to previous apple hours and just so happen when they started work on the xbox 360
microsoft immediately assisted FLA with all their work plans while it took a twist in the arm from apple to get anything out of them in the end

OK. It’s only Apple and/or it can all be traced back to Apple. The term sweatshop was invented the day the iPhone 1 was first announced.

Honestly, I’m fine with whatever people want to use but the whole blame Apple for all Asian factory conditions and problems is delusional at best.

Here’s a recent chestnut about the PS4 launch

It doesn’t mention that just days earlier the workers were assembling Apple products. I’m sure that’s just irresponsible reporting. You have all the facts.

so, you are calling Chinese workers sub-par and over worked and Texan/Latino-americans lazy?

maybe you should apply for a job at Apple so you can make a big sweeping generalization about where the next iProduct should be produced.

Foxconn is basically a city, with over a million employess. They had suicides before Apple, and statistically the rate is still lower than many major cities.
Apple didn't hold employess at gunpoint and tell them work or else.
And how you can blame only Apple, despite all the other companies using Foxconn and then still not give Foxconn any accountability on the issue?
Unless lack of research, or not knowing about the big whistleblower a year or two ago was exposed as a fraud, then the reason to boycott Apple products because of Foxconn is about
