Workers working on HP and Dell products aren't killing themselves. Only the workers who work on Apple's products. The explanation is twofold:
1. Apple sells incredible numbers of units right after release of a new product so workers who work on Apple products are far more rushed.
2. There is an unprecedented level of security imposed on people working on Apple products and this one is 100% Steve Jobs' fault because he is the one that mandates it. This extra security causes guards to beat workers they suspect of leaking info and, in some cases, even killing them. This added level of stress is also a contributing factor to the suicide of workers who work on Apple products.
This is an Apple only problem and so the author is 100% right to focus on Apple.
