A press release by the company says that the Fair Labor Association will be conducting special audits at the company’s suppliers. To its credit, Apple has requested this. No matter what targeted the decision, it is a good step in a normal direction. Factories checked will also include Foxconn facilities in Shenzhen and Chengdu, China....

“Silly subject matter expert,” I said to myself, and probably some colleagues. “There’s no technical purpose for politeness.” I then proceeded to nix all the pleasantries from the manual with perhaps a little too much glee.
