apple targeted for poor work conditions?

A few weeks ago you may have heard of the reports of the major Apple supplier Foxconn and their terrible working conditions ( dollar an hour pay,explotions that killed several and injured dozens, and the instalation of "suicide nets"). Since then there have been a few online potitions have been coming up here and there in support of these workers. Which have gotten about 250'000 signatures. Protestors are also gathering at Apple stores all over to protest. Although Apple says it does its best to help their conditions, it really dosent seem like it.

UMas riots

A few people were a bit upset by the outcome of the recent super bowl, as with a lot of sporting events, but if anyone needs some pointers on "how to riot", it would probably be the students of UMas amherst.
after the recent super bowl where the New England Patriots were beaten, the students broke into riot. the crowds started throwing botles and firecrackers at the police and they suppresed the situation with a few flash bangs and smoke grenades. the polices response was quick as they deal with riots from UMas on a regular basis.

Facebook Depretion

I do think people get cases of Facebook depretion. People (mostly teens) who use Facebook will understand what i mean by "Facebook drama". With almost a third of the world using it, it has a large effect on peoples social lives. Almost everyone has it. It even has some real world implications. Lots of high schoolers wont even consider a relationship validated unless its "Facebook official". People get worked up over things like their amount of friends, wall posts, taged pictures, and in my opinion its pretty ridiculous, people act like their amount of friends in comparison to their friends has some sort of social significance when in reality Facebook was designed to be a medium for which people can find their freinds and communicate. They treat their amount of friends like some kind of score and they get depressed when their friends is higher. Not only that, but people get upset by other peoples posts, profile pictures, tags, even farmville. In the end its just for communication, but people tend to make the misconception (again, mostly teens) that this validates and is an accurate comparison to ones social life.
