Doesn’t everyone love the Apple image? Did you know your iPod was built by a child in a forced labor camp? Still love the image? I found this article today Apple admits using child labour – Telegraph and I’ve got to say that I find it sickening.
Apple's child labor policy in action.
This isn’t the evil Google, Microsoft, or Intel. This is everyone’s beloved Apple. This is the most politically correct company to ever grace the face of the earth, or so they’d like us to believe. And here they are engaged in the cruelest business practice one can think of. No, i guess I can think of worse. What’s next, knee-capping people who fall behind on their App Store payments?
So think of the little 10 year old boy who built your iPhone the next time you use it. How much cruelty are you perpetuating when you buy Apple’s products? Not only is this incongruous with their oh-so-carefully managed image, but it shows you what they’re capable of.
Before you jump to Apple’s defense, let me point out a few other things. Last year one of their employees committed suicide after leaving their Chinese plant. A few weeks ago workers in another one of their Chinese factories were exposed to n-hexane, a dangerous chemical that can cause you to go blind. And let’s not forget that Apple was also nailed last year for illegally disposing of electronics instead of taking care of the environment like they should.
So, what’s it going to be? Do you care about Apple’s human rights abuses? Or did they spray n-hexane in your eyes also so now you’re blind to their employment practices?

Quite disturbing but sad that despite this reality, I bet it won’t deter Apple disciples from worshiping this bad fruit. Apple is almost like a cult with die-hard followers chanting
“see no evil, hear no evil”
