@cmuratori the way they repeatedly highlight "cheap iPhone" between horrible statements about the working conditions. Almost Onion'esque.

@cmuratori It's not like there's a choice regarding sweatshop labour. All electronics are manufactured that way. -
@_Wolfos No, there is a clear choice: don't buy it, and let the manufacturer know why. If we all did that, there'd be no more sweatshops. - Show replies

@gamingwoes@Jonathan_Blow That doesn't really make any sense. Apple's a purchaser just like the consumer is. - Show replies

@cmuratori Ew, what is this? It's a weird mishmash of human rights reporting and tech gossip. "This worker's story: the phone is plastic" :/ -
@Livelyivy It's pretty amazing. They literally skimmed through a report on inhumane working conditions to find details about new iPhones. - Show replies

@cmuratori I like the "Ooops, you leaked the new iPhone because of bad working conditions" in the URL. Ooops, labor exploitation.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@Jonathan_Blow I don't know about the newer factories, but at FOXCONN it was ~$20 a day (see http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/24/the-ieconomy-how-much-do-foxconn-workers-make/?_r=0 …)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@new299 It is labeled as being made in Japan, but I suspect _something_ in it is probably still made in China, unfortunately. Hard to know. -
@new299 It's a Sony VAIO Z from several years ago (I try to avoid buying new electronics since I found out about the sweatshop situation). - Show replies
