Tech, World: Chinese iPad 2 scalpers, Apple Store employees in bloody brawl
- A Beijing location had to close temporarily. In a series of photos that can only be described as harrowing, an array of smashed windows, bloody faces and confused crowds littered the SanLiTun Apple Store after an altercation broke out. The altercation, reportedly between scalpers and employees of the Apple Store, put a dark spin on the country’s iPad 2 launch. Scalpers, by the way, were there to buy the products to resell at much higher prices in regions of the country where the iPad isn’t yet available. (Editor’s note: Some images are graphic.) source
