I know that human rights is a big deal but I think the blog went a bit overboard by saying harsh things to the consumer. Not all consumers know these things and informing the public on how Apple run things is more than enough. The blog though is easily indexed by search engines because of the keywords used as a lot of people are looking into this nifty piece of technology and wants to enjoy it’s benefits. From what I can see Don wanted to inform the public and get its sympathy and teach Apple a lesson by boycotting the company which is one in a million chances could happen but then again would take more than a simple blog entry that bashes its consumers rather than getting a on to their good side.  

“And it’s even more galling that the media and Apple enthusiasts buy into it like docile lap dogs, happily chasing the bones that Jobs throws out, and reverently licking up the crumbs under his theatrical table.”

http://tinyurl.com/yaqeayv is the link to his blog where I found this sad remark. I am an iPod user and am planning to get an iPhone soon so it caught my attention and went on reading it. There were of course a small portion of people who agreed with his remorse towards Apple’s actions. Foxconn a company in Taiwan that has  a manufacturing plant in Shenzhen China has 270,000 employees or more and supplies electronic equipments to some of the world’s largest companies is a biggie. Considering that these multi-million earning companies entrust their trade secrets to these people, Foxconn must be really strict with their policies. Who knows how many has suffered the same fate because of negligence and espionage within this company’s walls. Suicide might have been an escape for the employee that jumped from the building. Who knows what other personal issues this person might have also had. The guy has died and there is nothing we can do about it, it’s their country and they have their own policies, this is the second time that Apple and Foxconn has clashed but it seems . Way back in 2006 Apple even investigated the maltreatment of Foxconn towards its employees. Foxconn denied the accusations, and law suites were filed but then dropped. Based on the reports it was Foxconn’s people who made the search and I think it’s uncalled for to put the blame on Apple alone since it is Foxconn who manages their people. I have nothing against these people I just don’t like people sticking their noses where it doesn’t belong and making us think what they want us to, and calling innocent people DOGS which we are not.
