It is reported that a 25 year old Chinese worker killed himself after he found a prototype of a new Apple iPhone model went missing. The worker worked for Foxconn, to which Apple outsources the munufacturing of iPhone. It was alleged that he was brutally treated and detained by Foxconn security. Apple is well known in the industry for the way they keep things secret, sometimes to the extent of leaking false information intentionally so to trace the source. You can imagine the pressure on Foxconn on having such a customer.
If the allegation is true, it is really sad that a young life is lost this way. Sometimes people or even organization sinks so much into the work or business that they forget there is life out there.
