Now come on, just because some outdated computing hardware is shipped to Africa, everything is peachy?? I agree that "the poor to rich, sick to healthy" is moralist and simplistic, but it doesn't make the opposite true. There are injustices in the world, some of which we probably actively contribute to without being aware of it.

Maybe more transparency would be one thing where web startups could help (ie tracking of goods from production to consumption, giving consumers the choice to consume "fair" goods - and I am aware that "fair" is not always "fair").

Are you sure that the "hardware for Africa" thing is not just a scheme to avoid recycling costs, btw.? (I don't know, just asking).
