STEVE JOBS ON FOXCONN: "WE'RE ALL OVER THIS. FOXCONN IS NOT A SWEATSHOP. IT'S VERY TROUBLING. WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT."

Of all of the Steve Jobs interviews, and believe me, there are not many videos of the King of Magical Devices being interviewed and put under the hot seat.  Steve Jobs would never subject himself to that, or admit any wrong doing.   However, Steve agreed to be interviewed by All Things Digital at the D8 Conference in 2010, about accusations of horrible sweatshop working conditions, unsafe working conditions, and 13 plant worker suicides at Foxconn International's plant in China, the company that manufacturer's Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod.  

I would've loved to have had Steve Jobs "wired" at the time of the interview.  And just to prove that I have balls, I would've wired the other end to myself.  Everytime Steve lied, it would send a fiew volts of electricity that would give me a nice jolt.  It would've been like the 4th of July.  I would've litup like a candle, and I am sure Apple Evangelists would enjoy the spectacle.   I wonder what other wonderful tidbits of information we could've learned about Time's "Person of the Year for 2010?" 

Here's the video.  Please, no more hateful mail or nasty comments.  

 

Don't get me wrong.  I love Apple products, I think they are beautifully designed and engineered products that people absolutely lust for.   Steve Jobs is without any doubt the greatest entrepreneur and technology innovator of the modern era even though he did get some help from alien technology along the way.  

In a blog post dated March 29, 2012, I reported that Apple CEO Tim Cook had visited Foxconn International's plant in China, and he looked dapper in that yellow rubberized plant worker outfit, don't you think?  I love it when the CEO of a major company "grabs the bull by the horns," and personally takes the time to visit the site of all the carnage and widespread pollution.   If anybody knew what was going on over in China it was Tim, the architect of Apple's outsourced manufacturing model.
