Apple iPod—made for kids by kids? Apparently. Apple reports that a few of their overseas vendors were using underage workers to assemble some of America’s favorite tech goodies. But wait, there’s more. Some of the suppliers also paid less than the minimum wage and even cut out some benefits.

Now accepting voiceover duty on behalf of Jeff Bridges...
