Inside Factory China
blackbearnh writes "While China is attempting to pull its industry up out of mere manufacturing mode, for now the country is the production workhorse of the consumer electronics industry. Almost anything you pick up at a Best Buy first breathed life across the Pacific Ocean. But what is it like to shepherd a product through the design and production process? Andrew 'bunnie' Huang has done just that with the Chumby, a new Internet appliance. In an interview with O'Reilly Radar, he talks about the logistical and moral issues involved with manufacturing in China, as well as his take on the consumer's right to hack the hardware they purchase."
Pff, he must be one of those communists. How can the free market and private property possibly survive if people are allowed to own what they buy?
Say the USA borrows trillions of dollars from China and after a while goes bankrupt and can't repay them.
They would probably come and take all of our factories away. We'll really be screwed then...
Idiot. The iPhone is made out of elves and pixie dust.
Get with the program, dude.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
