QuoteI guarantee you, many of the products in your house, the very computer you render your TG scenes on, will have been made to some degree by cheap workers in China.
Absolutely !!! but I don't worship the brand's boss for that.
QuoteAnd calling it iCrap? Really? How old are you?
35, thank you.
want to patronize me, maybe ?
QuoteMuch of the information the media has on the labour issues at Foxconn, Wintek, etc. have been brought to light by Apple themselves through their 'Supplier responsibility reviews' which looks at the working conditions at these factories.
come on and be honest about that ! Apple has been forced to produced this document.
and even then, in response to the suicides, workers were forced to sign a legally binding document guaranteeing that they would not kill themselves...
QuoteApple has also funded and launched training programs to avoid a repeat of the hiring of workers under the age of 16 (which is the minimum age in China btw).
In 2011 Apple admitted that its child labor practices in China had worsened. Not great news I guess.
QuoteTo quote Steve Wozniak
Steve Jobs didn't really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don't deny that.
QuoteYou could have just taken a higher moral stance and refrained from posting entirely.

Now, that said, you should just take a deep breath.
you are actually reading a post, in a thread, on internet.
we are all here to talk freely about almost everything we want to.
you disagree with my opinion, that is okay for me.
just try not to patronize me. Asking for age this way, for example just didn't help people to rationalize their thought (that was what you asked) but keeps them being emotionally picked up.
and yes, I do think that a majority of the products are iCrap (sorry)
iTunes is just bad to me, and for example if you want to upload some music from my computer on your iPod, you can't because I don't have iTunes. but if I want to upload music from your mac on my SONY, i can because it is just USB...
Same for the iPad2 : come on !!! no USB ?! at this price
anyway you said :
QuoteThat's why you won't see me jumping into a thread like this thinking myself superior because I chose differently.
mmmmh... I never said I was superior because i use PC...
and honestly...
I just feel like you did exactly the opposite of what you said. jumping in and talking like The Professor to his stupid student
