bluegargantuaHey,
You know how Apple products come from Chinese factories where people are worked to death in horrible conditions surrounded by deadly toxins that poison them? Of course you do, you heard about it on This American Life.
Turns out, it's not true.
And just in time! I was about to not buy the latest iPad on ethical principles but now...crap...I have to go queue up!

p.s. No, the conditions are still probably horrible if not as severe and your comfortable existence is still largely based on the suffering of other people in distant lands.
