  • KiddKill, on 08/27/2008, -6/+366Well of course the factory is going to say she still has her job, it just sounds nicer than we had her executed.
  • MtheoryX, on 08/26/2008, -2/+330Well, good. She shouldn't have been fired anyway; she didn't take the pics.
  • badassninja, on 08/27/2008, -12/+234Man, she's a cutie.
  • amneosis, on 08/26/2008, -7/+193I remember you in my prayers each night, iPhone Girl.
  • crossmr, on 08/27/2008, -2/+112prayers..if that is what we're calling it now...
  • Oxygen, on 08/27/2008, -4/+90I probably would have ended up taking a picture that would have gotten me fired...
  • chikuten, on 08/27/2008, -2/+88she doesn't look 16
  • inactive, on 08/27/2008, -4/+84Apple should really leave photos of workers on their iPhones, to humanize them.
  • jiaoziren, on 08/27/2008, -6/+67she's so cute.
  • TunaFishGangsta, on 08/27/2008, -10/+58Yeah, she's living in paradise now along with Zhang Liang, the tank man, and the winners from last season of The Running Man.
  • Morky, on 08/27/2008, -3/+44We love you, iPhone girll!
  • jonske, on 08/27/2008, -10/+49ni hao ~.^
  • PPCG4, on 08/27/2008, -12/+50You should shut your ***** mouth, if you know what I mean.
  • MtheoryX, on 08/26/2008, -1/+38No, can you?






    No, can you?
  • XeRoX2k2, on 08/27/2008, -1/+33apples' stock goes up over reports of them shipping hot girl photos on every iphone...
  • inactive, on 08/27/2008, -1/+31 I think you mean 'rapport', but I might be wrong.
  • inactive, on 08/27/2008, -10/+38yay! thats a relief. how could you fire someone with the cuteness factor of a little pink fuzzy bunny. awww just look at her in that little pink outfit. adorable!
  • m00nmaster, on 08/27/2008, -1/+28Hey Meg. 18 yet?
  • ChefGroovy, on 08/27/2008, -2/+26Yeah, they didn't think anyone would notice that. Now we all have a warm fuzzy feeling about the whole thing

    in reality the girl was beaten, red china style, until she gave up the name of the guy who took the picture.
  • directrix13, on 08/27/2008, -1/+24"Of course, she still has her job. Look... here she is resting her head on a pike during break time."
  • larfus, on 08/27/2008, -0/+22What better way of a quality check than a smiling face with each phone. Apple should take notice.
  • Genecalypse, on 08/27/2008, -4/+25Pft, shes probably lying in a ditch somewhere, with a picture of Steve Jobs in her pocket.
  • 1badarsemuther, on 08/27/2008, -0/+17This story has chick flick movie potential. Someone call Penny Marshall.
  • LeonHRodriguez, on 08/27/2008, -1/+18...then he was shot and his family was sent the bill for the bullet they used
  • Kyrgizion, on 08/27/2008, -3/+19Actually, if every iPhone came with a pic of the "factory team" that assembled it, I think it would be a cheap and effective way of establishing customer report.
  • WikiEasy, on 08/27/2008, -1/+16Actually she's nearing 30. Asians can trick you that way...
  • dougle, on 08/27/2008, -1/+16And there was much rejoicing.
  • peestandingup, on 08/27/2008, -0/+15I think you mean "Michael Rapaport".
  • RunawayElf, on 08/27/2008, -0/+14Probably Kevlar or a high resiliency rubber compound used to prevent pokes to the fingers when doing assembly work, and to help with grip.
  • forsight, on 08/27/2008, -1/+15lucky Asians!!! so young and vibrant looking
  • streak, on 08/27/2008, -0/+14sounds like he choked a snake.
  • crimson117, on 08/27/2008, -1/+15She wasn't fired because those pictures are actually of a beauty model they hired just for the photos. The real girl who makes the iphones isn't very cute, and China wanted to put on its best face for the world.
  • willgonz, on 08/27/2008, -0/+11She is famous now too.
  • turini1, on 08/27/2008, -0/+11why do all these Chinese girls that are legally 18 look so young? dam china
  • secondfiddle, on 08/27/2008, -10/+21The olympics are over, back to daily floggings!
  • maxium, on 08/27/2008, -6/+17Of course she still has her job. The QC guy that forgot to erase the phone before shipping... he's been sent to upper Mongolia for punishment!

    :)
  • inactive, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1012pm -INT- AT&T Store.
    Maggie and her friend Joyce visit the AT&T store to buy a new iPhone.

    12:25 - EXT- AT&T
    After maggie and friend have a 'friends' like time in the AT&T store, Maggie asks Joyce to take a picture of her. Going through photos took look at the picture, Joyce notices a picture of a strange man (Matthew McConaughey).

    Joyce is now in love. But what if Maggie see's the picture and takes him first?


    12:30 - EXT- 2 Blocks from AT&T.
    Joyce slams the phone down on the ground as hard as she can, destroying any chance of Maggie finding her destiny that she at the moment is unware of - Matthew McConaughey.


    Little does Joyce know, you can't stop destiny.
  • kelmaster1, on 08/27/2008, -1/+11she was probably just "re-educated through labor"
  • matthewf01, on 08/27/2008, -1/+11as opposed to religiously 18? or socially 18...
    or illegally 18.
  • tehrob, on 08/27/2008, -0/+10Stephen Colbert says you are right!
  • ChefGroovy, on 08/27/2008, -3/+13Apple is a huge faceless and souless corporation, they would prefer to downplay the fact that all their crap is made in China.
  • johnomaz, on 08/27/2008, -1/+11Ya, and shes reaping the rewards too, 1 dollar more a day.
  • VandyB, on 08/27/2008, -3/+11You're not even sure?
    What kind of half-assed grammar-nazi are you?
  • TunaFishGangsta, on 08/27/2008, -2/+10Not just fired, executed. It is China after all.
  • benighted, on 08/27/2008, -0/+8hello Captain.Obvious
  • munna80, on 08/27/2008, -0/+7Yes, and it has lots of pixels also.

  • MWeather, on 08/27/2008, -0/+7They don't bill you for the bullet. They make up the cost when they sell your organs.

    I wish I was kidding.
  • JoeHammer, on 08/27/2008, -2/+9Yay.
  • chaoswings, on 08/27/2008, -0/+7While I jump on the anti-Chinese government bandwagon on a regular basis what exactly do they fire her for? I'm sure even china does not go round randomly executing people. Even if they don't value human life they certainly value time and money.

    No secrets were revealed, no political agenda to be had, and no epic story behind the photo. Why is this being treated like news again?

  • limedcoconut, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6You cant fire someone who's dead.
