Do you use Instapaper? If so, how good do the new Instapaper fonts look on the retina display?

Maybe I should feel guilty about buying so many Apple products, but at least Apple is giving these factory workers raises. If they were not making Apple products they would be making something else so I don't feel bad.

I bought an ipad 3 on Friday, but I gave it to my wife, so it's her soul that will burn in hell for all eternity, and not mine.

True they could be working the rice patties or something. And why don't they bring up the other big companies that use the place as well?

I mean they make Xbox's at foxconn too, but you don't hear anyone trying to lynch Microsoft over it.

These factories put their workers' safety first.

Look how they encourage the use of safe recycled products to replace bluetooth devices:

Glass is a great journalist and fantastic storyteller (The kind of glasses he wears doesn't change the quality of his work). Daisey is riding a hype wave on Apple's back and twisting fact/ flat out lying to better sell his story. Glass stands behind his work to the point of immediately coming out with corrections because he has journalistic integrity and professionalism while Daisey just dodges his question and hides behind his "art"...

Keep hype alive.

If those Foxconn workers were all fired because the company was shut down over in humane working conditions. I wonder how many would be jumping then if they couldn't feed their families. It's not a perfect system, but it is better then nothing.

Actually I was one of those obnoxious iPad people showing off their iPad in the restaurant to my parents.

Mom wasn't impressed.  But then she accused one of the waiters of being hispanic.

Here it's the other way around.  The waitstaff is Asian and the cooks are Hispanic.
