Apple Responds to Labor Accusations

jlaxson writes "Back in June, a number of accusations were leveled at Apple regarding labor practices in its overseas manufacturing and assembly plants. At the time, Apple denied the allegations and said that it would launch an investigation. Today, the results of the investigation were released. From the report: 'We found the supplier to be in compliance in the majority of the areas audited. However, we did find violations to our Code of Conduct, as well as other areas for improvement that we are working with the supplier to address. What follows is a summary of what we've learned, what's already being done in response, and our commitment to future diligence and action.'"

And it just so happens that the two best quality laptop builders are Apple and IBM (now Lenovo, not sure how things will change).

Apple doesn't build laptops - they have them made for them by Asustek (mostly), using cheap asian labour.

Interestingly, Asustek is not on the linked list.
