Free-trade with countries like this will gradually pull developed nations down to the same level as they struggle to compete. Good-bye pensions, good-bye four-day work week, good-bye extra overtime pay, good-bye unions, good-bye worker rights. Just watch and see it all slowly erode, just as Big Business knew it would. Finally their drool inducing fantasies are coming true as they can become filthy rich overlords of a world full of slaves.

Yeah, capitalism at its finest.

Methinks NF has real Apple issues.

An ex girlfriend Mac-user perhaps? Coitus interrupted by an iPhone? An inadvertent iPod insertion?

Please elucidate, Nick.

Prototype of a new iPhone? Already?

Are they planning to release a new one before next summer?

Oh yeah, too bad about the guy, and blah blah. But who DOES have that prototype? THAT's the real tragedy.

Like clockwork Nicke writes some doom and gloom articles heading into Apple's earnings (hoping and praying they come true) and after Apple reports, no analysis, no comment on a company that he tracks so closely? If Apple had missed on the #'s what do you suppose Nick's Apple article would have been today?

So yesterday's article is the "Apple tanks in PC market" (hoping that this will be true)... with the subtitle "we told you so" (we meaning Nick, but a plural used to make it sound like conventional wisdom and a widespread prediction). Now that Apple unit sales has GROWN while the rest of the world PC sales has declined... what's the story about that? Oh, there is none, as that would not fit with the "desired" Apple coverage.

It was the same damn thing last quarter - doom and gloom leading into the report and then barely a peep about it when the FACTS actually come out. What's funny is that eventually Nick will be right, and we'll never hear the end of it.

This is a site that tracks technology... they do analysis of the PC industry... they talk about Intel earnings and AMD earnings. Yet no mention of Apple earnings?

Come on INQ, while Nick may not be, you guys are better than this!

Yeah right, dignity and respect... THEY USE SWEATSHOPS! Think differently--Ha.

Business as usual for Apple, as long as their intellectual property isn't leaked Apple and their share holders couldn't give a damn.

A better company would've fired FOXCON on the spot and issued a public apology and compensation to his family.

If the lives of the people who make them rich aren't respected, then Apple doesn't deserve my business.

1 down, 35000 to go...

What a slut country, so pwned by corporations.

At least if one of the workers commits suicide they are still employed. It is better than suicides because poor economic conditions that depends on government aids.

It seems men are valuated like "Dirt under the Fingernails" in the globalised world,

the "dead per share" should be implemented in the quarterly share reports.
