Episode 19 up!

So this episode we talk about Apple's Quarterly Results, and the usual blogosphere douchecrumpetry. However, we also look at the reaction to the death of the Foxconn engineer, Sun Danyong. Now, not to get too preachy, but the way the dorkosphere, in particular the Mac ghetto of the dorkosphere has used this as a way to 'prove' various asinine opinions about Apple and how APPLE'S SECRECY KILLS!, or OMGABSOLUTEPOWERCORRUPTSABSOLUTELY! is, to be blunt, despicable.

We don't have all the details, the police investigation has just started, and yet, WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! IF STEVE HIMSELF HAD PUSHED THIS GUY OFF THE ROOF, APPLE COULD NOT BE MORE GUILTY. It's disgusting, the way people are using this as an excuse to attack Apple without one iota of anything resembling proof. Anyway, links:
