Why Apple Backed out from India?

rmunaval writes "BusinessWeek reports an interesting article on why Apple might have backed out from India. The prime reason being, India has grown at a much more rapid rate than expected and is no longer the cheap destination for the companies. It grew at an astonishing rate of 9.3% last quarter."

    You wouldn't believe how much extra housing costs on Io once you figure in the extra rad shielding and periodic cleaning of the sulfur gutters. Volcano insurance isn't even obtainable at a reasonable price; everyone just does without.

    And don't even get me started on the commute.

    typo's

    Typos.

    I forgot about slashdot for about a year, came back just the other day.

    Insert "and" just before "came".

    I'm seeing hardly any intelligent comments

    Indeed.

    dissapearing up it's own asshole.

    1) That's disappearing.

    2) It-apostrophe-s is a contraction for "it is". "Its", on the other hand, is possessive. Counterintuitive, but that's English for you.

    So to recap, you should have written "disappearing up its own asshole.". Have a nice day.
