Where do I go to use this thing?

iPhone 4s? Hold the home button until it activates. If it's not turned on you can do that through Settings > General > Siri I believe.

Oh thanks for the answer but I have the Iphone 4 so I guess it doesn't work then.

Maybe, but the cult of Apple and the child slave labor used to make their products sure isn't something I can abide.

Slave labor? I am fairly certain anyone has a choice to go to work or not, regardless of age.

Right. Go back to your Fox News now bud.

No news channels teach basic logic as far as I know.

If someone is being paid, and they are voluntarily working, then it's not slave labor, simple as that.

But many corporations today use outsourced child slave labor. That's why shit's so cheap. Don't believe me? Ask Wal-Mart. Now, whether or not Apple takes part in outsourcing, I have no clue. I just wanted to clarify his point.

I will just say that if it is indeed slave labor, that they are forcing those children to work against their will, then that is fucked up indeed. But if the child, who is a person, agrees to work on their own accord, then that is their decision as an individual.

Well, they're not literally slaves, but they're starving children living in third world countries and they get paid like a nickel for a whole days work. They're not being held against their will, but they really have no other choice.

Again, I want to clarify, I have no knowledge regarding whether or not Apple does this, but a lot of corporations today do.

But in this third world country would they be better off without any job or income? I'm arguing that it could be considered an opportunity, which is why they are choosing to take it.

Technically, this could be considered a job. But if the corporation is going over there and giving them a nickel a day for working, couldn't the corporation just as easily pay them $7.50 an hour like every other human on the planet? Or, god forbid, even donate some money to them without making them work?

Although the word "slave" may not be the perfect description, its pretty damn close. Those children sure as hell aren't getting decent wages, decent hours, or decent conditions, I can promise you that.
