Lea LoneStar Registered: 08/18/06 Posts: 10427 Loc: Texas	I quit reading comments after this second one. Classic case of It Says It All ~ I think it's precisely the open, fragmented model of windows that cracked the door wide open for Apple. Users had had enough. They didn't want to be tinker'ers on generic boxes full of pre-installed third party software and malware. They wanted to be parents, teachers, family-oriented, athletes, leaders, executives who used PC as tools to live a better life. Apple noticed this and jumped right. That's the future. Sure feels good, huh? _________________________ I always deserve it. Really.

Yes, and I'm very happy both of these Companies, Apple and Google with Android are based in the USA. We need to become a nation of producers if we are to have future beyond this economic downturn. I hope Google has continued success with Android and Apple as well. Proud to support both of these American companies. I like seeing my family, friends, coworkers and neighbors employed. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/

"iPad Killers" Don't Stand a Chance for the Time Being; Analyst Like we've seen any successful "iPod killers" or "iPhone killers" being produced. Competitive smart phones, yes, but not killers. _________________________

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 27021 Loc: Hawaii	Speaking of which, well still iPad. Next to my project there is one of those game rooms, all electronic where you can win prizes. One game is filled with Nanos, where you try and knock them off a shelve, via aiming a plastic rod through a hole <-- yeah right LOL. The other game you can win a iPad, not sure how that game works or how much they cost to play? _________________________

polymerase Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 11640	Originally Posted By: yoyo52 The actual manufacturing . . . China, no? The manufacturing is a very tiny slice of the profit pie for all the Apple products made in China. A 30 percent profit margin the China manufacture I think gets 1.5 % or less. It is the innovation, the design, that happens in the United States and that is where most of the money goes. Manufacturing by itself is cheap and the cut the manufacturer gets is very small. There is a reason why the manufacturing is in China. You can't make a profit in the US doing stuff like that.
