Submission + - Lost iPhone prototype causes employee suicide (macrumors.com)
tlhIngan writes: "Physical intimidation of a Foxconn employee and a possibly-illegal search of his house may have led to suicide after an iPhone prototype in his possession was lost. Entrusted with 16 iPhone prototypes, he discovered one was missing, and searched the factory for it. Failing that, he reported the incident to his boss, who ordered his apartment searched (potentially illegally), and there are reports of physical intimidation by Foxconn security personnel. This ended tragically on Thursday at 3AM, when he jumped from his apartment building to his dead."

If you're not a Facebook member and someone "tags" you in a photo, the result is an unsearchable tag. Besides, on what website do you have the privilege of pre-emptively removing photos of yourself? This is not a problem with Facebook: it is a problem with the Internet. Tough luck.

That's fine if you live in Massachusetts, but most of us don't. Massachusetts' SC rules on Massachusetts' constitution and laws, not California's or Iowa's. Post something when the US Supremes say something about gay marriage and it will be relevant for a whole lot more people.

Isn't this basically what banks do? Loan out money they don't have and hope that their depositors won't withdraw their money at the same time? (Not that it's right for banks to do that, but just a note.)

How many more of these mistakes will people tolerate before they turn in disgust from buying a $20+ POS that stops working randomly? I know that if I bought this game (and was foolish enough to install it, DRM and all) and the DRM kicked in like this, my first stop would be to The Pirate Bay.
