Tim has spectacularly missed the forest for the trees. Google isn't just evil today because they updated their privacy policy. If turning a blind or half blind eye to suppliers in Asia is evil then they, like every other tech company, are evil and have been for a long time.
Where do the 700,000 Android phones that get activated every day get made? Is Google blameless because they dont make it themselves? Would Apple be blameless if they just designed the phones and contracted someone else to build it? Well they did so I guess not...
Look, it's clear that Apple, as the most visible brand, is going to get the lion's share of attention here the same way Nike was the target of sweatshop complaints in the 80's.
That said, as opposed to just shaming the Big Bad Apple, I'd really love to see a detailed comparison between the standards and practices of Apple and other first world companies contracting with suppliers in Asia (and elsewhere).
