[quote:Anonymous Coward 990239:MV8xMDg3MzY1XzVDMDRCNURF] Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the Taiwanese iPad factory that's been branded a sweatshop amid a rash of worker suicides is actually "pretty nice." Jobs denied allegations that the plant, owned and operated by Apple sub-contractor Foxconn, subjects workers to long hours and inhumane conditions. "They've got restaurants and swimming pools," said Jobs, who spoke earlier this week at the D tech conference in Southern California. "For a factory, it's a pretty nice factory," said Jobs. http://www.informationweek.com/news/hardware/mac/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=225300272&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_News Stay classy, Steve. Sounds like something a Mississippi plantation owner would say 170 years ago, lol. [/quote]
