You're missing the point. ramblerman was just pointing out that Steve Jobs actually was interested in profitability and if he wasn't he probably wouldn't have moved manufacturing to China.

Apple is also famous for supply chain management and embargoes; if that isn't profit focus what is?

no sony, microsoft and many others employ the services of foxcon.
I own a few apple products, I wouldn't consider myself a "hateboy". I just think Steve Jobs should be called a businessman, and not some idealist who didn't care about profit.
Are Sony gadgets manufactured any differently?
Also, considering Apple is probably the only major consumer electronics company to actually be transparent about working conditions (unlike the others who also do the same thing but don't care), it's not only unfair, but seriously biased "hateboy" fare to keep picking on them about that, especially out of context for no apparent reason.
