This time the number of dead and hurt is lower than last time (thank god).....

But...anyone know if any factory there got damage? I am guessing the RAM or other electronic component prices are going to skyrocket soon....

The Taiwan region experiences a major earth for around once per every three years on average. However, most of them happen near the sea bed. For what i know, 3 are dead and more than 200 are injuired.
