Out of interest, did you type all of those tags yourself, or is it grabbing it from the content? I assume the former, but the latter is entirely possible.

Typed it myself, would be cool if it could pull them on it's own.

Yeah I read about this a day or two ago, nothing is confirmed yet but right now it looks as though the security division abused the man to a point where he killed himself. I'm glad I don't live in China.

Am I the only one who thinks this rant from Gizmodo is extremely naive?

Talking of iPhones, does anyone in Zetzio besides myself have one?

@ Mus; I agree, a phone design isn't worth a mans life.
@ Dan; iTouch, I might pick an 3GS when my touch dies.

A phone design is worth a man's life, that's the real world we live in so I don't know why everyone's a hippy all of a sudden. I guess Stalin's famous quote rings true here; one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic. People in China are abused daily at work, and the only reason this particular guy is in the spotlight is because he's related to Apple via Foxcomm, that's the reality of the whole affair and anyone who says hippy shit is either trying to prey on people's sympathies or are just plain naive.
He didn't die over a simple phone, his death was the result of a company that manufactures a product that is globally raking in millions for Apple. It's not like leaking the release date for a game, Apple are extremely secretive to a point where it's stupid and the most obvious conclusion when a prototype phone goes missing is that one of those Chinese guys stole it, and Foxcomm doesn't need to respect employees as it's based in China where the local authorities can't even keep control over them, so they had no trouble threatening staff to get results.
The only thing they probably regret is the fact that the media actually gave a shit (for once), which I'm sure they're shocked about. Amusingly this particular fellow committed suicide, they couldn't even get the pleasure of making him work to death as they normally do.
