Free Ice Cream for Blobby

I think the Bubba ice cream truck is a brilliantly out there concept and should make for very interesting Bubba appearances.

I love how you support a company that provides more jobs to chinese children then it does americans over a company that still takes pride in being made in the usa

btw THAT is why your apple's are so expensive - YOUR FUCKING UNIONS

SO BLAME YOURSELF - be patriotic and by a mac and support your neighbours job you assholes!

China too.

http://bindapple.com/where-are-apple-computers-manufactured/

Well, let me tell you about the ones who manufacture computers for Apple. Two large IT solution brands manufacturers in the industry are named Foxconn and Inventec. If you never heard of them, that may happen just because they aren`t U.S. brands, they are from China. Yes you got it, the answer for the question where are apple computers manufactured? is quite simple. They are made in China. Now you may find this problem very delicate, considering the fact that Apple is a U.S. brand, some of you would ask: why should they manufacture their products in other countries, and not in the U.S. Well, that question is not so reliable, considering the fact that almost half of our earths products are made in China. But why China, why would Apple manufacture their computers there? The answers are simple: cheaper hand work, it`s a poor country, but with a strong economy, and last but not least, they have the biggest population on the globe.

I would highly highly doubt Apple is run by Unions!! It is not like Unions dominate every sector here SJ.

They are fuckin expensive because they are all proprietary everything.

no - they are assembled (not manufactured I admit) in the silicon valley still... seriously - I've read reports on this shit and that is why apple cannot get the pricepoint any lower - that and they use higher quality parts.. plain and true so it costs more. apples use INTEL chips - common that's not propriettary - they use nvidia and the other ones video cards - NOT apple

in fact mine has an intel graphics card and a gforce

Just because intel makes them, doesn't mean they're not proprietary. Cisco didn't make a lot of the memory, but it was their proprietary made by someone else, so they could and would charge like $6G for 256 M of memory, because that is all that would work in their router.

mac has gotten away from a lot of that...

true the ram chips are apple exlusive I think - but that's cause they are made to a better standard and they are more uniform in design across models...

It's because they price gouge their customers.
