Don't bother using any electronics ever made. They're all made in sweatshops.

Foxconn makes products for everyone, but they don't make every product
their main competitors are quanta and compal as well as a number of complimentary optoelectronic and silicon fabs

A great company that gives poor people a chance to work. The people against Foxconn are statists that want to control the destiny of the poor.

It is just photoshop. A company who's workers suicide jump down from roof because of bad work conditions, then company makes them sign a paper where they promise not to do a suicide. I would rather pay a little more for my technology than allow this shit.

How is such a contract even enforceable? You clearly are confused.

Your family pays damages to the company. Its kind of like if you committed sudoku right now, McDonalds would knock on your door and ask your mom to pay damages.

Well they make them to sign it anyway if they want to work there. They think it will end the suicides. Actually the place is a labour camp.

I can't understand why all these companies using their components allow this labour camp. It is insane. Since they allow this nothing is going to happen. Could think this would be bad reputation for them but everybody just keeps quiet, it seems money is more important. Can't understand.

I said before I would pay more if this was not allowed, their parts are in so many product. It should be these companies who buy their components who should end this, but they don't. Then who will? Anonymous campaign or something.

I bought 2 Foxconn motherboards in 2007 that were like $30, one still works and the other died within a year. I don't know how their quality is today but I personally don't buy their motherboards anymore.
