Foxconn iPad 2 Info Leakers Sentenced to Prison

Three Foxconn workers convicted of leaking iPad 2 specs have been sentenced to 18 months in prison. After working for Foxconn, I'm sure a year and a half in prison will seem like vacation...only, without the suicide nets.

A trio of Chinese workers from the Foxconn manufacturing facility that produces Apple's iPad 2 tablets will pay fines of up to $23,000 and spend up to 18 months in prison for leaking information regarding the device 6 months before its debut. The employees were charged with leaking Apple trade secrets, and convicted in China yesterday.
