    Sorry, but the Motorola Mobility purchase hasn't actually gone through yet so they are still a separate company hence why they are still trading stock under their own symbol. So, no, Google is not a Foxconn customer. Nice try though, bonch.

    Actually, they've been auditing for a long time, and have public reports on such things going back a long way (ie, predating the "suicide factory" news reports by years) but it's clear you didn't actually check that.

    Yes, I did. I even read and quoted their own report.

    In the summer of 2006, we were concerned by reports in the press alleging poor
    working and living conditions at one of our iPod final assembly suppliers in China. In
    response, we conducted a thorough audit of the facility and worked closely with the
    supplier to correct any practices or incidents that did not conform to our Supplier Code
    of Conduct.

    it's less obvious for 15, 16, 17 and 18; hence the various conflicting laws by jurisdiction.

    18 years old is of legal age. Also, pedophilia is about attraction to prepubescent children which is hardly what a 15,16 or 17 year old is.

    Yeah, and according to their own reports they didn't start auditing until after the poor work conditions came out in the press. Which would make them "reactive" not proactive thus proving bonch the shill wrong.

    Did you even bother to read what you posted? From the first report:

    Huh, so they didn't even do an audit after reports in the press came out. Were you intentionally trying to prove me right?

    No, CS 5.5 was the latest version before 6. And considering CS5 came out April of 2010 it technically is a 'years-old version'. Still a scam, though.

    Sure, except to use the software you agreed to the EULA where Adobe disclaimed themselves against any such defects. Good luck with that.

    Why make them pay taxes at all? Oh and we might as well repeal all worker safety and environmental laws so that the corporations aren't inconvenienced. Don't forget to' shutdown the SEC as well because having to try to accurately report information to investors is a terrible burden.

    President Obama did hatch a plan to get high-speed internet. Unfortunately his plan was to turn-off free TV (all channels 25 and up) and turn it over to wireless companies. That's not a solution... at least not as good as Fiber to every home.

    So President Obama hatched this plan before even being president? Wow, he's got amazing powers. You do realize that the legislation for the digital transition was passed in 2005 under the Bush Administration, right? Also, the frequency allocation also happened before he was even elected. But don't let little things like "facts" get in your way.
