The Dark Side Of Shiny Apple Products


Just try to imagine 37 million iPhones . . . that's how many Apple sold in just the last three months of 2011.
On Tuesday it announced revenue of more than $46 billion for the quarter ending December 31.
Tim Cook, the man who replaced the late Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple, told Wall Street analysts the company couldn't keep up with global demand for the new iPhone 4S. "We didn't bet high enough," he said.
The world is in love with everything Apple . . . but here's a question: Have you ever wondered where all that stuff gets made?

Yeah more than 50% of all electronics are from FOXCOM
located in China.

That's right 11:10 and it's also kids as young as 12 doing the work. They had to set up nets around the factory to keep them from committing suicide.Hope we all are enjoying our electronics at the cost of these young lives. Apple isn't the only company using this company to do their work. They didn't mention the names of the other companies on the program "Sunday Morning". I'm guessing Apple is Foxcom's biggest customer.
