Does anyone constantly updating their equipment ever think about what we are contributing to? Obama has signed a financial reform bill that will force companies like Microsoft to declare if they are supplied by the Congo and other countries surrounding it. This will mean consumers will be able to decide whether they want to contribute to these atrocities.
