    Foxconn Increases Compensation For iPhone Suicide Employee's Family

    Foxconn just increased the compensation for their worker that killed himself as a result of possible beatings and interrogations over a lost iPhone.

    The family now gets $52,600 (up from $44,000) as well as $4,385 every year as long as one of the parents are alive. The Foxconn official that leaked this information to the press spoke anonymously since he wasn't a qualified press-relations employee. [Yahoo]
