Good article. As much as I appreciate the fact that Jobs was a visionary and that my Mac is better designed in countless ways than any Windows machine I've owned, there's no question that digital hardware is produced in horrible ways.

Wages must go up. Everywhere. Chinese assemblers, Congolese miners, US retail workers, transnational consumers, we're all in this together.
