Posted as an interest piece, no commentary from me:

Child labour and 7-day weeks

Concerns about worker treatment appear to have motivated Apple to make a more thorough audit of its supplier chain in the past year. Incidents such as a threatened mass suicide at a Foxconn factory two weeks ago produced bad media coverage for Cupertino and Foxconn's other customers, including Microsoft.

an Apple official checked factory-run dormitories and dining areas as well as manufacturing facilities


Sounds like a corporate sponsored slave labor camp.

I'm imagining scenarios like Apple engineers and Apple/China "HR director" discussing not feeding factory kids too much so fingers don't get too fat to assemble compact devices.
