Good stuff, as the article mentions, California's big population means its legislation typically has some effect nationwide too. But I can't help feeling like there's something I'm missing here, since Apple of all companies supported this bill. I wonder if they're trying to get good PR after their notorious reputation, or is there a loophole somewhere?
They might think that it's comparatively easy for them to comply, giving them an advantage over other manufacturers who may not be able to guarantee a parts supply that long.
