Oh, so now Apple pays salary for Foxconn employees? That's an interesting piece of news. How about HP, Cisco, Intel, Acer, Asus, Dell, Nokia, etc?
How is suicide rate among Foxconn employees compared to average?
Foxconn has had some problems, but didn't rank that poorly. It seems to be more a case of what life is like in China.
"In a survey published in 2010 by Oxfam Hong Kong, Foxconn ranked sixth for corporate social responsibility out of the 42 companies that then made up the Hang Seng index."
You can find other references to that raise by using a search engine.
You mean you have no control over a factory that you're the primary(or only) customer of?

I was replying to your GP post that stated that Apple and Jobs weren't after profit margins only. So you mean Apple is as mindlessly profit driven(if not more) as all those other companies you just listed? Thanks for proving my point. http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2010/06/02/foxconn-pay-rai...

No. Foxconn makes products not only for Apple, but for those and other companies too. Hence my question, why should Apple be responsible for the pay.
And Jobs' desire is not to improve experience for those making the products, but for those using them.
