Let's assume for a moment that the missing item was nuclear launch codes, instead of an iPhone prototype. Do you really think that Foxconn did anything that Jack Bauer wouldn't have done? Of course not. Whatever Foxconn may have done to Sun Danyong may not be ethical to you ivory tower liberals who see the world in black and white, but to those of us out there who are realists and who see the many shades of grade that exist, Foxconn is a hero. They had the courage do what was necessary in the face of extraordinary circumstances. They exist outside the law, so that those of us who live within the law can sleep a little easier at night.
I have to say that little smiley is really perfect. Just... perfect.
Yea, I was thoroughly confused by that statement as well.

I second that notion. Although, it was actually quite amusing to read.

It is pretty sick how consumerist the world has gotten, to the point where a man can't lose a single crappy phone for a company without getting whipped by the police. I actually don't even hang out with people if I know that they have a cell-phone that does anything more complicated than take pictures.
So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.
