the smartphone wars

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.
