Segway PT Sighting Amsterdam!

[Civicsman]

It was not until that negative publicity spread from the relative obscurity of Mike Daisey’s off-Broadway monologue, The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, to the front page of The New York Times and then to broadcast networks that Apple took more-meaningful action, allowing the Fair Labor Association to conduct special audits of its suppliers’ factories in China

Although Daisey's monologue may have called attention to the situation, Daisey himself is catching a lot of flack in the last couple of days for...um...enhancing his story. The This American Life radio show has run an apology, saying that although some parts of the monologue were verifiable, other parts were not. For example, he says he saw workers that looked 12 or 13 years old, but he did not verify their age.

Note: Foxconn's suicide catch nets are real enough.
