[zhukov]

No, I pulled out of your ass

you must have gotten some big numbers then

[Dick Gozinya]

I do support our President, but, this kind of thing makes me scratch my head.

I am sure that $100 million plant will be loaded with robots...how many jobs do you think this will create?

3,800 estimated this year by moving one Mac product back here.

shows the Obamas are out of step hipsters

teenagers are not buying Apple products

Again, I support our CiC, but only 20% of Apple's sales are computers, and, they are in no way going to take away the places they have built in China.

Jesus.

Thing is, they arent Apple plants over there... They're just factories for tons of products, including non-Apple products. Circuit boards and other electronic parts are built over there and final assembly takes place over here.

I just don't trust the people that run that company...talk about gouging your market.

True, true.

But, who do you think invested in the building of those places?

Steve Jobs was a shrewd businessman...

Samsung investing 3X what Apple does on R and D

way more diversified

but stock cap lower

[GHP]

In the past Apple has done all the innovation and PC's have done the cheap knock-offs

I'm not upset at all.
