Apple Inc.'s Report from Mordor

From Valleywag:

Apple Only Wants 16+ Year-Olds Working Its Dodgy Sweatshops

Excerpt: "Apple products are made in factories that regularly employ young teenagers, constantly work people more than 60 hours per week, and falsify records to cover up their misdeeds. That's according to the shameless gossiping muckrakers at... uh, Apple Inc."

For more details about the vendors that make those cute iPods and iPhones check out Apple's own: "Supplier Responsibility 2010 Progress Report" (PDF) 

"If this is "achieving results," things must have been pretty terrible a few years ago. Perhaps Apple is making progress after all. And maybe, just maybe, in a couple of years, the 16-year-old child laborers in Apple product factories will pay legitimate fees to work 60-hour weeks for no less than the crappy local minimum wage. Progress!"

Hmmmm -- Apple logo and Eye of Mordor, separated at birth.
