Apple goes to war with the BBC

Rather, I would say, "it should make me rethink buying any electronic product _not manufactured in the US or other developed world countries that have much higher, stricter standards on labor conditions_..."

Not everything is manufactured in China (though I certainly don't know of any laptops not made in China, and only a select few phones.)

edit: oh, and also, my main point was "how good are those audits?"

The audits are probably pretty bad, but also probably better than the audits that less scrutinized companies do.

What consumer electronics products are manufactured in the US... not counting "final assembly" in the US where the PCBs come in fully populated from China and are screwed into the enclosure in the US?
