Oh, the following weekend, on my free time, I want to go out and buy the new iPhone that’s coming out. ;)[/quote]

People that realize the “marketed version of happiness” is no substitute for the real thing

fwiw – 13 people have killed themselves at the apple factor in china in the last few months.

Jobs said about the factory:

“You go in this place and it’s a factory but, my gosh, they’ve got restaurants and movie theatres and hospitals and swimming pools. For a factory, it’s pretty nice,”

And yet the suicide rate at Foxconn is less than the national average:

What we do know is the annual suicide rate per 100,000 people in China is about 13.5, with slightly more women than men taking their own lives (the only major country where that is the case, by the way). That means the Foxconn factory, with 300,000 workers, ought to be experiencing almost 40 suicides per year, while the reported numbers are a lot less than that.

This story says more about the press than it does about Foxconn, because I’ve read about it for months and nobody else seems to have done the math, which isn’t hard to do. But doing the math makes the story weaker, so of course it isn’t mentioned.
