With no knowledge of what Apple is doing CS Monitor announces that Apple's car might be a disaster. Sounds like what insiders in the cellular phone industry were saying in 2007. —PING!

Apple Car Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Except that's exactly the advantage that Apple has employed to create millions upon millions of iPhones, iPads, and other much-loved devices. Apple doesn't build the iPhone, it has suicidally inclined workers at Foxconn do all that.

This author demonstrates his clueless lack of awareness by use of that myth. The suicide rate at Foxconn even at its highest point in 2010, was one quarter of that of the same age group for China's population in general, one-eighth that of the same age group of American Ivy League University students, and one-twentieth that of the overall US suicide rate for all ages. . . And it is FAR LOWER in the past five years, when they've had fewer than ten suicides among all their 1.5 million workers at all their plants!

During an 18 month period centered around 2010, there had been a total of 18 suicides, none of which involved workers at an Apple product assembly plant. The cluster of eight suicides occurred at a factory assembling Microsoft Xboxes, HP Computers, Nokia cell phones, and Sony Playstations.

Even then, the suicide rate among Foxconn's workers was less than 0.75 per 100,000 per year.

So, I guess now's not a good time to point out that the new Apple HQ, besides looking like a sphicter, it will look a lot like a tire on its side. ;")Thanks Swordmaker.
