New What's that got to do with Apple specifically?
Just about everyone makes their laptops in those factories.

Also, aren't wages in those factories significantly higher than the Chinese norm?

Also, aren't the suicide rates absolutely normal for a cohort of 20,000 (or whatever the exact figure is)?

Whilst you or I wouldn't want to work at FoxConn, for someone brought up in rural China, it's living the fucking dream.

New Because Apple software sucks?
Their hardware is not maintainable on my budget. My wife uses iTunes but relies on me to do her updating and management. It was clearly written by juvenile badgers indulging in fermenting fallen fruit. Their bonus must be derived on obnoxious user interaction. Suffice it that I'm not a fan. They won't miss me. meh...

I see mass suicides and riots in the future as every urkel fashion sense inspired computer nerd throws down their oxy pads and mutters, "enough is enough," then takes to the streets, scsi cards in hand, and it will be dark, dark day indeed my friend.
