In a recent engadget article, Jon Fingas points out the following:

If you're planning to snag the new Mac mini and load it up with aftermarket memory, you may want to reconsider your strategy. Macminicolo owner Brian Stucki (among others) has discovered that the RAM in Apple's latest tiny desktop isn't upgradable, much as you'd expect with the company's laptops and the 21-inch iMac.

    "Working conditions and pay are sooo bad over there that Foxconn had to install a net to catch the workers trying to commit suicide"

    If you had actually been interested in the truth of the matter you would have looked a little deeper than what fit your preconceived notions and found that the suicide rate in Foxconn factories is LOWER than the overall suicide rate in China and LOWER than the rate in the US.

    Article is from 2010, but it gets the point across.

    "After 9 suicides in 5 months, and reports of brutal working conditions, Apple and Dell say they are investigating the working conditions at Foxconn, the Chinese manufacturer that builds iPads, iPhones and other gadgets.

    But while it's obviously a tragedy that any one person, let alone 9, ever commits suicide, let's be clear about one thing: the suicide rate at Foxconn is not particularly high. In fact, at 5.4 suicides per 100,000 people (400,000 people work at Foxconn), the Foxconn suicide rate is lower than it is in all 50 U.S. states.

    In Wyoming, where the population is 512,757, and there are no sweatshops, 22.6 people per 100,000 commit suicide, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

    In California, the rate is 9.2 – New York, 6.9.

    If conditions are so bad, why are so few people offing themselves?

    Let us know how that Crow tastes. I know you won't read this, but other people will.
