Foxconn drops suit

Bravo to Foxconn for coming to their senses and dropping this ridiculous lawsuit.

Why is that a good move for everyone? It may be a good short-term move for Foxconn, but at some point, someone really ought to be able to keep journalists in check. Free press is a truly wonderful thing, but like all freedoms, it is supposed to come with the responsibility to use it appropriately. Mistakes are one thing, but gross error is quite another.
