Fun Size Bytes: Apple responds to factory worker conditions, we're still waiting on the others.

tj:

Actually it’s a much longer list than you could fit on Twitter. According to Wikipedia, here’s a list of all of [Foxconn’s] customers. I’ve crossed out the ones which have addressed the situation:

  • Acer Inc. (Taiwan)
  • Amazon.com (United States)
  • Apple Inc. (United States)
  • ASRock (Taiwan)
  • Asus (Taiwan)
  • Barnes & Noble (United States)
  • Cisco (United States)
  • Dell (United States)
  • EVGA Corporation (United States)
  • Hewlett-Packard (United States)
  • IBM (United States)
  • Intel (United States)
  • Lenovo (China)
  • Logitech (Switzerland)
  • MSI (Taiwan)
  • Microsoft (United States)
  • Motorola (United States)
  • Netgear (United States)
  • Nintendo (Japan)
  • Nokia (Finland)
  • Panasonic (Japan)
  • Philips (Netherlands)
  • Samsung (South Korea)
  • Sharp (Japan)
  • Sony (Japan)
  • Sony Ericsson (Japan/Sweden)
  • Toshiba (Japan)
  • Vizio (United States)

Which have publicly and non-reactively addressed the situation. After Apple started demanding significant improvements to worker’s conditions, a few other companies have followed suit (to FoxConn and other suppliers), but I’ll be damned if I can find their press releases or department reports that detail this publicly.

The bold words illustrate several meta-points on this whole issue.
