Wonder what this will do to iPhone 5 shipments... Probably a lot less than the perceived damage since this will start up another round of working condition articles in Western press.

The end result will likely be a shortened timeline for Foxconn's robotics plan. Robots rarely stage protests.



If they do, it will be called 'skynet' and it will likely signal the end of man kind as we know it.


You know, I think discussions about robotics have their own version of Godwin's law; sooner or later, there's always a comparison to hitler//skynet.


I wonder what the outcry will be in the press with all the lost jobs, though. That is, if the US/Western press cares to publish articles about Chinese/Taiwanese employees losing their jobs.
