more geeknews. my first thought was what if there is something in the manufacturing process that made people suicidal. but that's too far out. after all we know that the steve jobs corps is far too responsible than to let something like that happen. but poor labor relations leading to suicide? heaven forbid! that's the stuff that boycotts are made of.

iPhone and iPad manufacturer Foxconn, China's state media reports. The
21-year-old worker was the eighth fatality this year. This raises
questions as to whether the shiny finish of the latest gadgets available
from mega corporations are tarnished by such information, and whether the
mistreatment of workers deserves to be highlighted when considering such
firms."
