I'm not going to apologize for Steve Job's worse behavior, because I think he went a little too far at times. But I will say that after having been in business for 17 years, being nice has mostly gotten me a bunch of mediocre shit. To produce the kind of successes he has you are more than likely going to step on a few people's toes. And I don't think he should get full blame for the conditions at the Chinese manufacturing facility. Many hardware companies use the same company to manufacture their products. I doubt they knew what the conditions were when they made the decision to use the facility. It would be nice if they worked towards changing them.
I'm not an Apple apologist. I've owned 28 macs and a few really really sucked (mostly early laptops) and Apple has had a history of not treating their customers well. I cant knock the guy, though.
