And then, of course, there are serious issues with many of Apple's business practices. The recent news about the conditions in their manufacturing plants and the treatment of employees was alarming to me. I am liberal American who believes a good business is one which is fair and ethical while still making a cutting-edge product. When I see companies making obscene profits by taking advantage of people who have little control over their own lives, it makes it unlikely for me to do business with them.
You are mixing every thing, It is not Apple employe it is the Employe of the Chinees company that buiding for Apple and other like DELL.....nd probally some piece that is in your PC
The profit that Apple is not obscene, as for a Macpro with equivalent proc it is the same than a DELL server !
Iphone and Ipad are selling like croissants, Apps are selling vey well, 25 billions !!
Apple is very user friendly with prices of ther software compared to Microsoft
Look at the price of Mac os 10.7. ==> 23.99 euro look at the price of MS Windows 7 pro 264 $ (at Amazon)
Look at the price of Mac os 10.7. server ==> 39.99 euro look at the price of MS Windows 7 pro server you need to have a quote depending of the number of user !!!!!
Look at the price of MS office 199$ and at 279$ for 2 install, compared to the price of Apple office suite Iwork 79 $ and at 99$ for the family pack !!!!
They also introduce the price of the APP at 99 cents
Apple drop the price of Logic at 149.99 euro
This is a sale politics, do you sell very expensive at a few people like VSL does, or do you sell very cheap at at million people
