This trend of using Apple as a metonym for the world's outsourced manufacturing is getting tiresome. It's not as though Apple is the only one, or contracts to produce the majority of the output.

I'm not an Apple apologist and they AND everyone else, should be taken to task. But it's a little to easy to always say Apple (and not Samsung and Haier and HTC and Motorola, etc.)

Also, this may or may not change what someone knows about manufacturing practices in China. I guess that depends on what one knows or knew at the time of hearing mr. Daisey.
