| 794180 | 2009-07-22 19:56:00 | A Chinese factory worker who reported an upcoming iPhone prototype missing was so scared of the wrath of his bosses and Apple that he committed suicide by jumping out of a 12th-floor window. Apple's unusually secretive company culture has helped it gain an edge on competitors and maintain unparalleled pre-launch buzz for its products. However, the death of Sun Danyong, 25, highlights the effect it can have on employees and supply chain workers who are tasked with keeping upcoming products under wraps. VentureBeat, which broke the news, and Chinese media report that Sun worked at Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn, based in Shenzhen. His job involved shipping iPhone prototypes from Foxconn to Apple. www.stuff.co.nz Foxconn??!! :yuck: |
