Oh no you didn't!?! Not the sacred cow of our IPhones and IPads! Yeah, I did.
Seriously though, I caught a special report on CBS Sunday Morning about China's Foxconn plant which manufactures the IPhone and IPad.
"The world is in love with everything Apple . . . but here's a question: Have you ever wondered where all that stuff gets made?
'I had never thought ever, in a dedicated way, about how they were made,' said performer Mike Daisey, an admitted geek. That is the centerpiece of his monologue, "The Agony and the Ecstacy of Steve Jobs."'
Here's a link to their report:
"The dark side of shiny Apple products"
And a link to NPR's This American Life on Mike Daisey:
"Mr. Daisey and the Apple factory"
Does this mean I'm going to sell my Macbook? Maybe. I'm am glad to discover that the investigations may have brought about more awareness and involvement from Apple's execs. See "Apple is first technology company to join Fair Labor Association"
