This wouldn't really be news, except for the fact that it happened at a Foxconn factory. People just love ripping on Foxconn.

Remind me never to work at foxconn. That place seems like its in the news every other month...

"They were holding it wrong"

A halt on iPad production, it is the end of the world

 

[NightLight]

apple will now probably charge MORE for the ipad, since it now has extra blood on it.

 

[Guest]

Now all the workers will have to sign a "no death from explosions" contract...

 

[drwho1]

so the "world ends today" and started with Foxconn?

this are great news!
who will be next Apple? M$?

/sarcasm

The A05 building is home to a production like for the Apple iPad 2

Is Marcus channeling his inner valley girl today?

Hopefully it is not a suicide bomber!

Apple wanted to raise the price of the iPad, I wouldn't put it beyond them to engineer this themselves. Human lives, especially workers, are not worth a penny in China or India.

Apparently they were trying to add flash support to the device.

Every iPad owner is a potential suicide bomber.

Must have been a "bad apple"

It's freeking China, they do everything the cheapest way possible, this way you get things that go BOOM, just like in Japan. In China work is cheap, people would kill each other to get a job instead of killing their oppressors to be a free country.

Is the Ipad 1 factory in a different place? I need to know as, you see, the article states 'ipad 2' factory.

 

[beayn]

The delays will make the ipad 2 highly sought after. There will be such a mystique surrounding it that every last Apple fan will absolutely have to buy one.

I have a feeling the cause was an employee "passing out" on the line and their body being soldered burst into flames.
