Tim O'Reilly nearly brought to tears. By Apple.
Last week I called out Internet gadfly, Tim O'Reilly for saying "stupid shit". (Cause that's how I roll)
This wekk, O'Reilly ups the ante:
The account of how Apple's factories substituted n-hexane, a neurotoxin with well-documented long term adverse health effects, for alcohol to wipe those shining screens clean, gaining a miniscule advantage in drying time but exposing workers to a lifetime of disablement, nearly brought me to tears.
That's evil.
If O'Reilly isn't lying to us, though I suspect that he is, shouldn't he demand of all smartphone makers -- Apple, Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, HTC and numerous others -- to conduct their business practices i a way he approves of? Why only one? Is it the profits?
Samsung sells more smartphones.
Nokia sells more mobile phones.
Is it boilerplate Apple Derangement Syndrome?
I suspect it's for no other reason than most on the Internet: page views.
