Dreamwork China -documentary on I-phone laborers. Steve Job’s special culture sure does not trickle down to the bottom apparently. Why would it I suppose? These teenagers aren’t really part of the Apple company anyways.
Further, quite ironic that by building I-phone products or living near a factory where I-phones are produced people will get cancer. Faceless Chinese laborers who couldn’t even afford an I-phone that “changes lives”; who cares right? Imagine this happening in the U.S., Apple would totally get sued. But then again maybe not, since Job’s is god and this is America. NYC firefighters who got cancer couldn’t even get monetary compensation or health care from the government after performing their brave duties on September 11, which everyone knows is what caused them to get cancer in the first place.
Another critical advantage for Apple was that China provided engineers at a scale the United States could not match. Apple’s executives had estimated that about 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee and guide the 200,000 assembly-line workers eventually involved in manufacturing iPhones. The company’s analysts had forecast it would take as long as nine months to find that many qualified engineers in the United States.
In China, it took 15 days.

A 12-year-old Mongolian boy- Uudam (乌达木 Wudamu in Chinese) who lost his parents at the age of 8 in a road accident singing the song-“Mother in the Dream” (梦中的额吉) to his mother in heaven. He seldom talk about his story but when he miss his mother, he will sing this song. He always dreams about his mother, sitting beside him.
In the stillness among the vast lands
I dream of Mother praying for me
She looks afar and gives precious milk to the heavens
As offering for my well-being
My Mother, so far away.
Stars twinkle above the grasslands while
In my dream I see Mother’s caring face
As she prays to the heavens to wish me godspeed My Mother, so far away.
In my dream I see Home basking in golden sunbeam
While Mother softly sings an enchanting melody
There in the grasslands lies my everlasting home
My dearest Mother, wait for my return.
My dearest Mother, wait for my return.
