Not to get off topic, just an interesting article about who makes your iPhones and iPads.
Foxconn, a company that builds iPhones and iPads — among other techy items, employs more than 400,000 people in a factory where they sit silently for a standard shift of 12 hours. Rooms are filled with 20,000 to 30,000 workers and talking is prohibited, Foxconn employees said in an interview with Mike Daisey, a monologist and author. Cameras watch every move of the assembly line. Employees work, eat and live in the factory, staying in 12-by-12 cement rooms that house 15 beds
