todo este asunto ha sido bien abordado desde el arte, _si el arte_,
fue enfrentado en el transmediale 2008 de manera directa y arriesgada
a traves un performance realizado en kinshasa que recibimos via stream
en Berlin (link satelital), durante el mismo evento se presento la
obra trantalum memorial* y una muy valiosa charla del jaromil.
parece que el sitio se los lograron bajar del server, pero seguramente

aca el texto de "Apple":

Why iPhone 4CF
The new iPhoneCF guarantees to all its customers the same high quality
phone as the original iPhone 4 with the added bonus of taking you one
step closer to a world without conflict. As you probably know the
minerals that are used in the production of various software products
have largely been extracted from mines in Africa, especially the
Congo. For the most part this mining has gone
unchecked and therefore companies have been unable to tell whether or
not the mines they source their materials from have been mines under
the control of rebel groups further fueling a conflict that has has
killed more than 5,000, 000 civilians. Apple wants to say no to the
impunity, lack of accountability and lack of justice in the Congo and
wants to be a leader in customer satisfaction and source accountability.
We have taken the time to find a new approach to our mineral sourcing
in order to ensure that our products only work to help the people of
the Congo rather than exacerbate the already occuring problems there.
In order to do so this Apple aims not only to purpose conflict free
products but also to raise awareness and force other companies on this
challenging path of change.
