From what I've read, Apple actually does more than any other similar
company to reduce underpaid and overworked labor. It's well reported
that Apple's practice of sending employees to factories in China on a
regular basis to inspect their operations and improve them is something
virtually none of their competitors were doing in the beginning. And
even still today, some don't, and others only do half-heartedly. I've
come to expect you to ignore that and shed this in the worst possible
light you can muster. Your trolling is transparent.

And you'd certainly know that, with your astounding intimate knowledge
of everything he does inside Apple's secretive halls. As if...

No surprise there. Just about everything about Apple is "unclear" and
"uncertain" to you. You must make that statement every day of your life
(often right here on Usenet).

As always, your trollish attempt to shed all things Apple in a bad light
are completely transparent. According to your take, it couldn't possibly
be that Apple's employees actually care about these things; no, you'd
rather believe that they do it all for purely selfish reasons. Troll
away though. We see right through you.
