@Aki please look into the state of work and life at the factory/dorms in factories in China who have business outsorced to them, then you will see that this is not an isolated case, nor is it happening at Foxconn only.  Saying that Apple is responsibly is true to a point, a very minute point.

Thing is, most people happily buy products from "the oppressed" Cell phone manufacturers  (Nokia, Samsung et al, by extension participate in the crisis at the Congo), we don't attack them, we benefit. We have local companies infamous for oppressing employees, we celebrate the cheaper pricing. Mechanics in Kenya expose themselves to hazardous carcinogenics everyday, when fixing our cars, but it's cool. People die building structures in Kenya, day in day out, no insurance, no safety equipment, but it's ok, we save a coin... My issue is that living in a country where we constantly benefit from the blood of others, can we really cast the first stone?
