Bill Maher had a guest on this week talking about Apple, the slave wages paid to assemble iphones in China and the net result of Apple's current position at the top. Maher inferred that Jobs, who was thought of as the hippy, humanitarian of the people years ago and Gates , once thought of as the tough shrewed businessman are being looked at quite differently of late.. Guess Jobs being fired during the heights of Reaganomics got him to reassess his priorities and fit into the culture of starving the beast, maximizing profits and shareholder value first and foremost.. To top it all of it is horrible to see young people spend all their money to get the latest overpriced Apple product these days..
