They should use these hacked computers to nuke Apple HQ in Cupertino. To nuke it from orbit. Nuke the Chinese FoxConn factory too...just to be sure...and to prevent further suicides on the iPhone assembly line

It is a well established fact, Dennis, that the suicides at FoxConn occurred at their facility assembling products for HP, Sony, and Microsoft XBox. . . not Apple products.

The one suicide associated with an Apple product was a mid level engineer who had been questioned in 2009 in reference to selling an iPhone prototype to a competitor. After the questioning, he returned to his apartment (not at a FoxConn facility) and jumped from his balcony.

The fact also remains that the suicide rate at FoxConn's facilities, where 750,000 people worked and a total of 28 people committed or attempted suicide over an eighteen month period, were one-quarter of China's national suicide rate for the same age cohort. 25% of the normal rate. It is also one half of the suicide rate at Harvard University where the age groups are similar. So what are you complaining about?
