Inventor, or exploiter?

The blogger at Market Ticker says that there is another technology giant who deserves much more praise than Steve Jobs. Dennis Ritchie died recently at the age of 70. Who was he? He was the man who invented the C programming language and spearheaded the development of Unix. He is the reason why virtually every website on the planet exists!
The blogger, on the other hand, characterizes Jobs as an exploiter:
Steve Jobs? Oh sure, he "gave you what you wanted." But he did it, and turned Apple into a household name with massive profits, by exploiting child and near-slave labor to the point that their contract factories in China have had to put nets up so you can't commit suicide by jumping off the buildings!
