Hong Kong (CNN) -- The Chinese manufacturer of many of Apple's products has denied allegations that it forced students to work on its assembly lines in a last-minute push to ready the iPhone 5, expected to be unveiled Wednesday.

i wish not one single person on earth would buy this product. as well as other products too. we could actually shut fuckers down by not buying their bullshit. phillip morris = cigarettes... shut em down = don't buy tobacco.

no forced slave labor type workplace...fuck you assholes in the chinese labored sweatshops. i bet 6 year olds built 7/16 of all iphones

like this world needs the new iphone5... holy fucking shit, i need the next greatest gadget in the universe or i'm gonna be pissed off awhile

i actually dislike all people whom have the craving for the latest devices. they are the equivalent of the dipshits fighting at the super wal-mart on black friday

did i ever tell y'all i despise ridiculous bullshit people who actually need their heads slapped with giant pieces of glass

Don't believe him, he asked me last week to pre-order him an Iphone 5 to replace his ancient Samsung Galaxy S3 since he won't have computer access.

Yes because demonstrating our rage with our expenditures (or refusal to spend) has always proven successful. Market answers to market problems is not the way forward IMO, obviously most people disagree.

I guess they could always leave and find a job doing something else.

when my 3GS goes ... i may switch to a samsung ... i'll assume samsung has a version of "find my phone" thingie as that's come in handy ...

outside of that - it will suck to lose the free iphone to iphone stuff and the integration of itunes and iphoto but c'est la vie ...

Yes. CAPITALISTS disagree.

Welcome to the real world. A large majority of what we in the developed world own is produced by slave labor.

I would agree...it doesn't seem to matter what companies products you purchase.

Well put, Chadwick, but the power of materialism and consumerism is one that cannot be wished away.

My girlfriend hates shopping; she refers to the malls as "hell on earth." This, obviously, makes me very happy.
There is nothing more grotesque to me than a girl showing off her new pair of shoes that were likely made in Thailand by a 13 year old in a sweatshop, or that new pocketbook that was likely made in the Philippines by a14 year old.

Out of sight, out of mind. Nothing more important than having the latest phone.

mydogmookieblaylock

dude - they denied the allegations -- you think they would lie? the allegations were probably made by Samsung.

give me that new i5

And you posted this on your MADE IN USA home computer???

...hilarious when high-minded individuals try to disparage others who may enjoy lavish luxuries such as "a new pair of shoes"...

:roll:

...all while bemoaning this injustice on their high-tech MADE IN CHINA personal computer.

There's no way to avoid it, and everyone owns something that was manufactured in one of these places...

Hypocrisy: "Everybody's doin' it!"

I was referring to overindulgence in materialistic pursuits without any regard of the conditions under which these products were made.

You truly missed the point in your response. The gluttonous materialism in this country is a plague. There is a big difference between buying products on a global marketplace and an understanding of what types of working conditions we support.
