On January 24, 2011 I posted a blog comment about Mike Daisy's brilliant one-man show, "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs" at the Berkeley Rep, where Mike exposed what it was truly like to work for Foxconn, one of the primary subcontractors for Apple. http://characteractress.blogspot.com/search?q=Mike+Daisy

The atrocious conditions suffered by workers that fuel production of iPhones, iPads, and other electronic devices in China are now being better understood by the world.

Read the New York Times piece that is bringing the story to an even wider audience this week:
