worry bot folks, the workers in China making $259.00 a month for 60 plus hour weeks will refill those missing Ipad’s in two hours time with only one of them killing themselves due to over work. Jobs was a first class *ss who knew he was going to die yet got a liver transplant to last a little longer, when some ones kid could have used that liver to live a full life. He is as a good a fellow as Bernie, plus I hear he treated his workers here like *hit, Hey Jobs you got what you deserved.
