Three Foxconn Employees Charged With Leaking iPad 2 Design

I would assume the execution has already happened. That's what the fandroids would tell us. They're always right, you know.

That was slow of Apple...

Be sure your sins will find you out!

..and as a result of shipping heavy industry overseas, the U.S. is now bankrupt.

I'd say most of the countries are bankrupt... They just don't want to admit it...

So are these guys getting a fair trial? Are they exempt from cruel and unusual punishment? Oh, that's right, that little lack of human rights thing...

I really think Apple should step up and make sure these guys aren't treated unfairly or overly harshly, even *if* they leaked the design. Frankly, that would be the *only* course of action for a civilized company like Apple to do.

I don't think that will happen in the near future... It's a foreign country and Apple really dislikes that their products get leaked... They still haven't forgiven gizmodo for the iP4 leak...

Even worse in a communist country where the "employer" and the government might be one and the same.

Clearly, you never served in our military. We have our own code of justice, but without even going to that extreme, if you think that civilians aren't jailed or worse in the United States and even outside our borders because of our corporate collusion, you're living in dreamland. We've got entire societies displaced by our corporate interests, dissenters jailed and their democratically elected leaders shot, and that's just what's on the record. Plenty of blood on everybody's hands.

It's what everybody gets when even a few people aren't self sufficient and dependent on money.

Don't tell me where to put my western values. It is not government's job to uphold the corporatocracy by putting employees in jail whenever their employer doesn't like what they did. Even worse in a communist country where the "employer" and the government might be one and the same. I have every right to know how governments treat their citizens if I might be buying their products.

In general, trade secrets are a civil matter in the US, not a criminal matter - there is no arrest, there is no go to jail, it is a financial matter.

LOL!! That's just bizarre. Theft of secrets is indeed a crime in the USA, and that is Federal, not even left to State jurisdiction. You seem to feel that the USA is not run by big business, something you need to get over.

The country in the world that is most clearly run by business is South Korea, which is not communist.
