    Steve Jobs got us the design and the technology; it’s our job to show that we care about labor conditions. The answer isn’t necessarily that we stop buying these toys—it’s that we demand better.
    —

    bwahaha - sounds so….civilized (in a very non-capitalist capitalist way) until you stop and think that you wouldn’t pay $1500 for the same device. You all (sometimes me too) demand better. Better prices, that is, and no ‘sane’ company/CEO is going to commit suicide by not trying to ‘make you happy’ and give you just that - more for less.

    Netflix is being killed for a couple dollars more but you DEMAND better? pfff…try putting DVDs in envelopes for 8 bucks / day or whatever for a few hours of your life first.

    Go in front of Walmart -demand you pay more for what they sell. Better yet, why not buy from a mom & pop store (10-30% more expensive) instead. Oh, they’ve been killed by Wallmart you already.

    Go ask Apple to raise the prices AND pay the workers in China triple what they get now.

    Go and demand that investors stop expecting 10-50% profits year to year on their portfolio TODAY. 

    You do all that after you demand a voluntary salary cut.

    shame, anyone?
