blood on your iphone

Apparently the poor chinamen/women who manufacture iphones and ipads dont rlly like their job that much. They live in a crazy work prison, where all of their activities are micromanaged by their bosses and they have no down time evar basically.

looks like fun. They dislike the work prison so much that they routinely kill themselves. Even though Apple is the favored technology manufacturer of the cultural elite, and seem to promote the idea that user-friendly interface=morally upstanding, Steve JObs has no real problem with the people making his neat little google machines dying for them. I am reminded of some kind of 19th century steel mill or something, where all the immigrant laborers worked 12 hour shifts, and in the end they all got burned or crushed to death or deformity. INstead of the work actually destroying the iphone maker's bodies, like it does in heavy industry, it destroys their minds. In fact he thinks the work prison is pretty much fine, because it has fast food available. So i guess the only conclusion to be reached is that iPhones/iPads are immoral. If people cared about human rights or worker's rights any of that shit they might not purchase these items. you know, enriching a few uptight twats a la steve jobs, while poor chinamen leap to their death off of a factory roof. (In a bid to lighten the conscience of iphone users, apple co. shill and avowed steve jobs dickriding publication wired magazine talked positively about the anti suicide nets installed at the factory, and the relatively low proportion of workers who killed themselves. Is wired to apple what vice is to american apparel?)
