For Apple suppliers, loose lips can sink contracts

Many of Apple's finished gadgets, from iPods to iPads, are assembled at industrial compounds like the one in Longhua. And when it comes to guarding Apple's secrets, Foxconn, a unit of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry, and other suppliers throughout the region leave little to chance.

An interesting look into Apple, Hon Hai and secrecy. Maybe more people (both employees and customers) should be on a need-to-know basis about product ideas and plans.
