"One interesting fact I heard from the Steve Jobs story. A few weeks before the iPhone shipped Steve demanded that they switch to glass instead of plastic screens, so they called up the manufacturer in China, who promptly woke up thousands of workers, gave each a biscuit and a cup of tea and had them start working 12 hour days continuously until the iPhone shipped. An amazing story. But it is also a sad story, that people are happy to surrender their lives so easily (though I believe they are paid by the hour at least) just to have a job."
I heard this story from an Accounting professor. He loved it, I hated it.
