Apple-Foxconn tale goes well beyond Apple, and tech | Apple - CNET News
This story, that comes on the back of a New York Times investigative report on the supply chains used by major tech companies in the west, gets all bitchy that said report focuses on Apple.
Just a few days ago Apple, and their legions of apologist bloggers who make sane people want to puke, were openly masturbating over how much money the company made during the last financial quarter in profits (£13Billion (US) if you’re interested).
The most profitable and the biggest company would and should be singled out because they are very obviously a major part of the problem, which is pointed out in the two pieces run by the NYT thus far.
If you want to fix the problem then you highlight the biggest trouble maker. You go after the dealer, not the junkies.
It’s also interesting that Tim Cook, Apple’s new CEO, responded not to the questions put by The New York Times but in an open letter to employees.
This is classic PR bullshit 101, don’t talk to the journos that can pin you into a corner, put out a sanitised ”open letter” which is free from follow ups and direct attribution. Also, Mr Cook is the one credited with building Apple’s relentless supply chain.
Dickish beyond belief, from Cnet through Apple and all the way to the bloggers.
