[citation][nom]cpatel1987[/nom]@Aaron: I hate Apple just as much as the next guy, but yes, Apple is partially responsible because they are the ones that buy screens from Wintek. But why JUST Apple? How about all the other clients that Wintek has? Apple can put plenty of pressure on Wintek by threatening to buy touch screens with somebody else, but how exactly would Apple have prevented this issue? Wintek could have just as easily hid this issue from Apple, sure Apple may try their best to prevent such practices from happening, but labor conditions is a two way street. So ya, I think Wintek is definitely to blame, not Apple. The best thing Apple can do is find another company to make these screens. But the other issue is, who exactly would that company be?[/citation]
Very likely wintek only has apple as their client or compose at least 90% of their business. It's definitely not just apple, but apple should be ashamed of not paying for fair working conditions when they set new record profits every year. And if there is not a safe alternative (most do; it's either a matter of cost or time)then we shouldn't pursue such a technology, especially for trivial matters like watching youtube in class.
