By now it is almost like a basic formula… Gather some useless cheap easy to get data, twist the numbers into some bullshit visual effect on a chart, trash talk Apple, sidestep accuracy and integrity… then post it online, sit back and watch the ad dollars come in…..

Consumer Reports, labor Rights, now greeenpeace, Mike Daisey, and others i cant think of now ALL HAVE USED THIS FORMULA to get their names in the headlines…. They dont care about truth, accuracy, the environment, OR workers rights… They only care about profiting from Apple big brand name regardless of what lies and poisen they spew out into peoples minds…

I feel bad for Apple… It sure is lonely at the top….

Meanwhile we got Haliburton choking with so many of our tax dollars going down the throats yet nobody writes about them….
