As safe as the working conditions at their Foxconn factory yeah?? ;-) :(

Seriously Fuck Apple Hard Sideways!! I don't understand how people who 
can agree with the philosophies behind FLOSS can also support the least 
ethical technology (and most profitable) company in the world! Yes 
almost everybody uses Foxconn these days but not everybody defended the 
installation of suicide nets as a sufficient way to "improve 
conditions." And nobody else has as bad tax avoidance record.

I met a guy recently who spent a year working in Shenzhen (where the 
main Foxconn factory which does most of Apple's work is located) and he 
told me how on days off they used to go around the industrial areas, 
freely walk into electronics factories and be approached by a 
foreman/manager who would subsequently give them a tour around the whole 
facility. Try and get any where near the Foxconn facilities (which are 
pretty much a city in themselves) and you are faced with miles of 
barbed-wired fences and gun-carrying jeeps keeping you outside!!
