It will take more than Dr. Dre to cover up Apple’s sins and wash away the blood stains. I have never owned a single Apple product in my entire life and never, ever will.
“Apple suddenly has regained its cool,”
LMAO!
Dr. Dre, taken’ it to the man. Very happy for him.
So I guess you went through every electronic product you own and made sure they’re not made in China? Or did you not think this all the way through? I daresay it’s likely to be quite difficult to find an electronic product that doesn’t use similar work places.
Look, Apple didn’t create poverty in China, and if it weren’t for these companies, the people who work at these places would have things even harder. But just so you know, people voluntarily work at Foxconn and they don’t use slave labor or child labor. From what I understand, the biggest problem there was boredom; not grueling work conditions. And so while you’re busy attacking Apple for doing what all the other companies are also doing, you very well might be supporting companies that DO use slave labor. So maybe that’s something you should think about while riding your high horse around; though you probably won’t.
The exploiters appreciate your apology. Or denial. Or whatever they call lackey boot-licking these days…
Don’t knock the product if you haven’t tried it. I used PCs before I ever used Mac, and I would never use a PC again if my life depended on it either.
I second Doctor Biobrain’s comments
Jimmy Iovine must be 900 years old. He’s like Quincy Jones, his hand is everywhere.

I said I’d never owned an apple product. Of course I’ve tried them…Lol–I opened the first Apple retail store in town, back in the 80’s. And later, I ran a PC computer store for a major American PC manufacturer, before and after Windows.
I stand 100% behind my earlier comment. Apple is a bad company. But they’re not the only one.
“Apple suddenly has regained its cool”
Apple never had cool to begin with. More like an ongoing association with affluent hipsters.
He’s the big winner here.
