Those things might be true, Sonrisa. But don't forget every major country in Europe and Asia who had gone through industrialization had a history of horrible working conditions for both adults and children (which was needed to develop their country's manufacturing capabilities). I don't disrespect Apple for shipping their products to be made in China; almost everything is made there anyways and if Apple had their products made in a country where the labour cost is high, our IPods, IPads, Macs, etc would cost 10 times more.
Also, his personal/familial issues still doesn't discredit his innovative, economic, and marketing success. Jobs is famous and remembered for what he did for Apple; not for whether he was a family man or not.
agreed. luck was on his side.Quote:

Those things still persist today in western countries, the difference is that its happening a lot less and is a lot more covert, Asian countries don't mind that much of a publicity because they know that it no matter how much the west exposes them, the west still goes to them for cheap laborQuote:

A priest, muslim and a rabbi are sitting in a bar.
A priest says: I am thinking of buying Citibank.
A muslim says: I am thinking of buying Microsoft.
And then they both look at rabbi.
The rabbi says:
Dream on. I am not going to sell you shit.
