I think the deplorable conditions at Foxconn can be attributable to poor management and working conditions. I think people will tend to pick on Apple more as a symbol of their frustrations than as a cause. People who commit suicide will commit suicide whether assembling an iPad, and HP computer or a Safaricom solar mobile phone.<br>
<br>The main cause is the drive for cheap manufacturing, pushing all manufacturing jobs to China. The likes of Foxconn seek cheap labour, which they underpay for, and create unacceptable working conditions. I guess we are all as guilty as Foxconn, Apple, HP and the like. We seek cheaper equipment without caring their impact on those who toil to make them and the conditions they work in.<br>
<br>And at USD 130 a month.<br>
