    Hahaha LMFAO

    Quoted from foxtj24:

    just did a chat with the supplier,

    Will they all be the one of a kind prototype earthshaker re-theme as you pictured?

    I wonder if Tim Cook is hand-weaving the suicide nets himself to ensure their quality.

    Quoted from ZenTron:

    iPhone was designed and engineered by Apple in the USA which is #5 in Fortune 500. The parts are all sourced and supervised by Apple. All thats being done in China is putting the things together aka the manufacturing in buildings which have suicide nets wrapped around them.

    Tim drew the longest straw.

    Quoted from someoneelse:

    Why always just let Tim take all the glory? The CEOs of these companies will need to join in weaving the nets as they all are huge customers of Foxconn too:
    Acer (Taiwan)
    Amazon.com (USA)
    Cisco (USA)
    Dell (USA)
    Hewlett-Packard (USA)
    Intel (USA)
    Microsoft (USA)
    Motorola Mobility (USA)
    Nintendo (Japan)
    Nokia (Finnland)
    Sony (Japan)
    Toshiba (Japan)
    Vizio (USA)
    Samsung (Korea)

    Apple's US buildings aren't that far above the ground, just a couple stories I think.

    Quoted from tjohns14:

    Do they really have suicide nets around chinese plants? Talk about hating your job. Thank god for the red white and blue.
