I make a point of not posting any iStuff, basically because i beleive it's false technology. It is either nothing noe or special or just overpriced for what it is.
But this is something i will gladly repress, in the ABC's story, it has been anectotally shown that materials used in the production of iPhone screens has been poisoning it's workers.
My point in this case is simply that there are screen manufacturers making high quality screens for mobile devices with simiilar if not better technology than what Apple tout as thier Retina Display (See HTC HD2 screen 4.3" TFT).
There is not much more to say about this other than some quotes from the ABC's article and a link below...
"One had kept some of the logos they were using to prove that they were working on Apple products and showed them to the ABC.
After breathing in the chemical's vapours, they became dizzy and numb and eventually they could not walk.
"At first the symptoms were pretty obvious. My hands were numb. I could hardly walk or run," one woman told the ABC.
"I think they knew it was poisonous to human bodies but if they had used another chemical our output would not have increased," another woman said.
"By using n-hexane, it was much more efficient".
The women have now been in hospital for more than half a year.
The workers' boss, Zhong Jianxiang, was not available to be interviewed."
