hm, he also gave people opportunity to make some money, there's LOTS of poverty in China too... government thus has actively invited foreign companies in, they've been closing doors a bit lately... some say he saved the music industry etc. It's not all 'black or white' - there are lots of shades of grey and all sorts of colors inbetween...
People in China are used to working 10 hours a day, 6 days a week... (which is sad, but many multinational companies have taken full advantage of that..) So it's not just 'one person' or 'one company', it's a whole system that needs to be improved...
I do agree many people have other things to worry about.. and most people have definitely too much stuff, yeah!! ipod/music on the go (eg when jogging etc) can be a good thing, it would be good if they were made safely though, and in good work conditions..
an ipod eliminates need for tons of CDs/cassettes so in a way it goes 'lighter on the environment' too.. provided they last long enough to be worth it, and if they're properly recycled..
Haven't had an ipod so don't know... someone I know online has had an 'accident' with it though.. a relative is very happy with hers, hmm (hasn't had it for long though)
