Just because you lay out your figures so you think it is easy to do.

If it is so simple why HP and Dell are not doing it.

Cut the crap that Apple can afford it. have you consider that the 4S has the same design as the 4 and it is riding on the RD of the 4 and Apple has saved a bundle on the design and RD.

Why not you do something and not talk and talk is cheap.

Why not petition HP or Dell to do their manufacturing in the US.

But then it makes my day to see so much envy and hate for a company which 10 years ago was on its death bed.

Yes then no one cares they are bleeding cash.

So why the interest now.

Btw taking care of the people is the government's job and not Apple's and Apple don't owe you a living and if you need to cry go and cry at your government representative for not doing enough to create jobs.

One last thing why don't you scream at the banks and banksters for bring the US economy to its knees with their trade in CDOs and what have you. Today's predicament is brought on them them.

Yes these guys pay themselves obscene salaries and that's what you called greed. Now what have they done to improve the economy - nothing and they don't even lend each other money because they fear the other guy may just go out of business.

Climb down from that high horse and look yourself in the mirror before you accuse others of not doing enough and no one owes you a living.

Wow. I don't know what to say. Your post is hilarious in so many ways.

First, learn some grammar and sentence structure.


I would but uhh guess what? I'm not a. Working for a tech company, b. Not in a manufacturing industry and c. Apple never offered me a job as CEO so--I can't. Nice try in an empty argument.


I have no envy for Apple. I dislike their products and moreso dislike how they charge a premium for a product that does LESS than my PC or other devices can do--while forcing me to submit to limitations on their platforms they place there to control the end-user.

Their products have done nothing but piss me off in the past... well, ever since the Apple IIe became ancient. I have no need or use for Apple products in my life. I do just fine without them.

Btw taking care of the people is the government's job

This is your opinion. In my opinion, taking care of the people is the PEOPLE's job. NOT the Government. The Government's only role is to defend our borders and enforce the rule of law. That's it. Nothing else. I don't believe we the people should rely on the Government for everything.

Climb down from that high horse

High horse? Where? In order for me to BE on a high horse I'd first have to claim I'm better than everyone else (or a group). I'm not. Where I am at is surveying the situation and providing my two cents on what might better everyone else.

That's not a high horse. Look it up.
