OH MY

* Child labour.
* Permanently injuring workers with nerve poisons.
* Stasi management leading to "suicides".
* Total disregard for workplace safety / toxic waste regulations.
* Falsifying records. (So what has been successfully hidden?)
* More than HALF of their factories confirmed to be sweatshops.

>Apple has not stopped using the factories.

Not any of them. Not even temporarily.

Huge Apple tax margins, highly successful products ... and they'd still rather their workers were abused, maimed and killed than make slightly less profit. This isn't really a Told. It's not funny. It's just disgusting.

I guess butthurt liberal Macfags can't be so sure of their "certified organic" hardware anymore.

Tremendous quantities of butthurt in the comments of the first story.

So, Apple abuses child-labor and >60+ hour workdays in poisonous unsanitary factories, and passes the savings on to you?

No, wait, they keep those too.

>>6516
Ahahaha. I fucking lol'd.

>>6516 here, I meant '60 hour workweek', not '60 hour workdays', but the more I thought about it, the more I'm convinced that Jobs may actually be working on a time-machine to make it possible.

>>6514
>liberal Macfags

Sorry to burst your teabag but Rush Limbaugh is a macfag.

>>6519
He DID say "liberal macfags." Not just "macfags."

GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE

Followup: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/malcolmmoore/100027849/apples-factories-a... 

tl;dr = these investigations very rarely result in any penalties and have completely failed to stop the abuses getting worse, i.e. they are purely a PR exercise and Apple don't really give a shit.

>>6519
Just another reason to hate that faggot.

I HAD A JOB DELIVERING THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER WHEN I WAS 12 YEAR OLD SO WHAT ARE THESE ASSWHOLES COMPLAINING ABOUT?

>>6525
The WHOLE ass?

>>6525
Working conditions, I assume.. Have you ever been inside a factory?

>>6526
YOU BUTTWHOLE KEEP CRYING I'LL BE HERE ENJOYING GETTING PAID 10 CENTS FOR EVERY PAPER I DELIVER. BITCH.

apple needs to get fucking shut down

So. Fucked.

you PC faggots wouldn't give a flying fuck if it happened in a PC factory. here's a wake up call. it does.

apple just gets all the heat in the press because it's a successful brand.

>>6531
One confirmed and one hypothetical wrong makes one right. Alright, gotcha.

fuck crapple

>>6531
>7% of computers
>sucessful
Figures; call me when Apple makes a real computer that isn't a toy for fucktards like you. For under $700.

>>6531
[citation needed]

>>6531
It's an expensive prestige brand, which trades mostly on its right-on hipster cool, responsible, funky and environmentally friendly image. It is 100% valid to criticise them when it turns out that this is a façade covering up sweatshops and mass poisonings. Apple have the power to stop this happening, instead it's getting worse because they'd rather protect their huge profit margins.

>>6531
PC factory....you mean the people making the same parts that make up PC's and Mac's?

Only manufacturers for shitty cheap parts that people avoid do this kind of unprofessional cheap slave shit, and those are the kind of parts that make up Macs nowadays, which is why almost the entire latest lineup across the board from macs to mac pros to macbooks are defective.

Apple markets it's toys as a fashion accessory for the kind of bleeding hearts that worry about working conditions in obscure foreign countries, and not only is Apple charging them 2-3x more than anyone else, they're building their shit as cheaply as possible, from the cheapest parts, from shit "pcfags' avoid like the plague.

SO MUCH TOLD, THE UNIVERSE CANNOT CONTAIN IT ALL.

OH GOD I THINK AN ENTIRE NEW UNIVERSE WAS JUST CREATED TO CONTAIN HOW MUCH TOLD IS HERE

>>6538
You just crossed over, into ...

THE TOLDLIGHT ZONE

>>6534
mac mini has decent specs for under $700.

i guess you just got told moron.

>>6541
>mac mini
>mini-itx form factor
>decent specs

LOL

>>6541
Funny, my $500 PC can play Crysis and GTA4, has two Disk Drives, Upgradable, can add Terabytes of Disk Drive Space, ect.

>>6541
So it's not running OS X, has the graphical chops to act as a media/gaming/editing suite, and is open enough so I can add my own RAM and tweak parts as needed?

No? I thought so, faggot. TOLD.

>>6541
>Decent specs
Anything in the ballpark of $700 should be a fucking super computer.

>>6541
Looking at the specs, that would be acceptable for a 15-17" laptop, not a fucking desktop. Hell, not even; for the $700 range, the laptop would probably at least have 4 GB RAM, a 2.4ghz Core 2 Quad, a Geforce 280 GTX and a 500 GB HDD, all built better than the scraps Apple uses in their toys.

>>6541
>700 dollars
>decent specs
How about fucking no. My old 500 dollar laptop had better specs than the fucking Mini.

lol, the macfag here is so butthurt he actually cares about that Apple is Not Told and Microsoft is Told

Too bad Linux is better than both.

>>6548
Fuck you, Linux is useless outside of operating servers. Go back to spamming win7sins, you butthurt FSFfag

>>6548
>>6549
Let's not go there. Hatred of macfaggotry is the one thing that unites us.

>>6550
This. Can't Linux users and Windows users get along?

We need to fight the real evil. Apple.

Linux is fucking worthless. OS X is far more useful than Linux ever will be.

>>6552
OS X isn't running the fucking internet you're enjoying.

Actually, it's probably BSD but that's not the point.

>>6550
>>6551
If the Linux guys want to not be stuck up kikes, I'd love to join them. Like that Windows7sins span needs to stop, for one. They have entire communities to cry to about that.

>>6553
no, it's apache + linux

not to derail the thread, but 99% of computer users in the USA use their computer as a facebook terminal.

>>6552
has linux enslaved kids? i dont think so

>>6552
>OS X
>useful
LOL

>>6555
Wow, seriously? Is that a fact or an exaggeration?

>>6555
Holy hyperbole batman!

>>6556
Linux almost singlehandedly started World War I; don't think it gets off the hook that easily.

" has linux enslaved kids? i dont think so "


Are you retarded. I think you are, this pertains to hardware. And as far as I know, Linux develops FREE software.


" Fuck you, Linux is useless outside of operating servers. "

+1 for you LOL sooo right. So so right.

>>6541
>Mac Mini
>decent

Get the fuck out.

>>6556
>has linux enslaved kids? i dont think so

Then you haven't met an 18-year old so-called "sysadmin" with a resume claiming 4 years of experience in Linux and running his own IRC bot.

>>6555

more liek dumb terminal amirite?

At least the Asians soak up all the chemicals in Apple products before they ship. PCfags end up doing that themselves.

>>6565
Did you buy a computer from a homeless man in Harlem or something? I've never had my PC come to me doused in chemicals, thank you very much.

>>6565
lol wut?

What do you think all those jaundiced iMac screens were caused by? That's sulphur leaking into the screen. Duh.

>>6564
Computer Science is the evolution of smart people in front of dumb terminals into dumb people in front of smart terminals.

holy shit

>>6531
'Cause that shit totally happens at Dell! :D

>>6602
it doesn't?

>>6565
Racist bitch.

>>6612
How's that racist? Asians build Apple products.

>>6613
maybe coz fags make apple products, not Asians.
