PLENTY OF PETITIONS: Sarah Ryan of change.org delivered petitions to Apple store team leader Ryan Sprance, center, at the Apple store
in New York’s Grand Central Terminal Thursday. The petitions ask Apple to change manufacturing practices and to address worker conditions
at manufacturing partners in China. (Mary Altaffer/Associated Press)

Dear Apple,

You know what’s awesome? Listening to NPR podcasts through an Apple Airport, playing through a Mac laptop, while puttering about the kitchen.
Do you know the fastest way to replace awesome with a terrible knot in your stomach? Learning that your beloved Apple products are made in
factories where conditions are so bad, it’s not uncommon for workers to permanently lose the use of their hands.

Last week’s This American Life shined a spotlight on the working conditions in the Chinese factories where iPhones are made. Just one example
of the hardships there: the men and women in these factories work very long days spent repeating the same motions over and over, which creates
amped-up carpal tunnel syndrome in their wrists and hands. This often results in them losing the use of their hands for the rest of their lives.
This condition could be easily prevented if the workers were rotated through different positions in the factory, but they are not. Why?
Because there are no labor laws in China to protect these people.

Here’s the thing: you’re Apple. You’re supposed to think different. I want to continue to use and love the products you make, because they’re
changing the world, and have already changed my life. But I also want to know that when I buy products from you, it’s not at the cost of horrible
human suffering.

Here are two simple asks (basically taken from the end of the TAL report) that could make a profound difference in the lives of the men and
women in your factories and others like them:

First, in regards to the worker traumas described in the story, ranging from suicide attempts to the people losing the use of their hands
from repetitive motion injuries, we ask that Apple release a worker protection strategy for new product releases, which are the instances
when injuries and suicides typically spike because of the incredible pressure to meet quotas timed to releases.

Second, since the TAL story aired, Apple has announced that the Fair Labor Association will be monitoring its suppliers. Awesome step. Please publish
the results of FLA's monitoring, including the NAMES of the suppliers found to have violations and WHAT those violations are, so that there is
transparency around the monitoring effort.

Please make these changes immediately, so that each of us can once again hold our heads high and say, “I’m a Mac person.”

Your own ads say that “the people who think they are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Please get to it.

wikipedia is going down (for a while)

(CNN) -- Go to Wikipedia at midnight, and you won't find any of the usual encyclopedia articles.
Instead, you'll be greeted with a message about anti-piracy bills that are topics of heated debate in the U.S. Congress -- stirring opposition from tech companies in Silicon Valley and support from media companies in Hollywood.

Wikipedia, one of the highest-traffic sites on the Internet, will shut down for 24 hours in protest of these laws, which the website says would make it very difficult -- maybe impossible -- for its nonprofit encyclopedia to continue to operate.
The blackout starts at 12 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
For more on the bills, see CNNMoney's story, "SOPA explained."
Time Warner, the parent company of CNN, is among the industry supporters of the legislation.
CNN spoke on Tuesday with Jimmy Wales, a co-founder of Wikipedia, to find out exactly why the site -- long a defender of independence -- is making its first leap into the scrum of U.S. politics. The following is an edited transcript:
CNN: Tell me how you came to this decision to blackout the website for 24 hours?

Jimmy Wales is co-founder of Wikipedia.
Wales: Back in early December we were starting to look at the pressure that was being put on for this to be rushed through very quickly and I opened up a discussion with the community as to whether we should perhaps protest -- following after the pattern of what we did in Italy after a bad law there. That discussion took some time to come to fruition because we're a very thoughtful and deliberative community. After a long process we held a vote which was overwhelmingly in favor of protesting this law.
