3 Foxconn Employees Charged For Leaking iPad 2 Design

Posted by timothy on from the hope-no-one-leaked-about-white-iphone dept.

syngularyx writes "Three employees from Taiwan-based Foxconn Electronics' (Hon Hai Precision Industry's) plants in Shenzhen, China, have been charged with leaking the iPad 2's design to outside accessory companies in China, according to a Chinese-language sznews.com report. Several online shopping retailers in China were able to sell iPad 2 protective case products before the iPad 2 was even launched, leading Foxconn to suspect that there might have been some employees leaking the design of iPad 2, which it reported to the local police."

    Dear /. owners/IT/whoever in charge...

    You know it would be really easy to give users a way to report trolling, spam & such?
    That's a clear *abuse* of the forum. Why don't you offer a way to flag those posts, and then report them to their ISPs so their account can be terminated? (I don't know, something like a *report* button? )

    I don't know how seriously this will be taken, but then again, I've been working for more than 5 years at a *very large* ISP's abuse department and don't recall receiving that many (if any) complaints from /. ... /. is turning into 4chan...
