... Which is robots. If they were state of the art, they would be using micro-organisms to build the computers. Nanotechnology. Thats state of the art. I bet "robots" means "unhappy chinese working 20+ hours a day" in Apple.
Oh you dont understand. They had to radically change the setup, so that it flips the iPhone around so that they can put the headphone jack on the bottom! State. Of. The. Art!
People people people. It is ok to bring in specs and things like that when discussing Mac vs PC, but manufacturing conditions? This is something neither company will ever be able to be good at, because both are huge organisations that employ thousands of chinese, korean and malay workers. They employ anywhere that is cheap. And why do they employ there? A. For the money, but also because the people want to work. The people in the villages surrounding the factories can often become dependant on a single factory for the majority of it's employment. That way these companies can keep their workers earning less but keep them employed. If they were to leave that area, there would be massive poverty as each factory employs thousands. Apple is no better than any companies licensing PC products. And PC is no better than apple either. Their factories are 24/7 workhouses where workers eat, sleep and work. More often these days you will see suicide nets lining the exterior of the factories, things can get that bad. So just be grateful for what these people create for you, out of their own sweat and blood. The average wage to work at one of these factories is $1.78, think about that when you get $10 an hour for babysitting.
Its cause Apple is generally viewed as "all good" and "pure" when the truth is that they are as bad or worse than anyone else. They told the world lies about the conditions, and even the current Apple fanatics believe, after all the evidence.
