'He had over $150,000 stored in shoe boxes,' Department of Justice Attorney Michelle Kane said. Devine was charged two weeks ago with taking kickbacks from Apple suppliers."

    I used to think "Made in America" when I bought an Apple product

    So you're saying the last time you bought an Apple product was a Woz assembled Apple II?

    Because like ALL consumer electronics, it's been pretty much China since then.

    Isn't it enough to be proud of buying something carefully designed in America, regardless of who manufactured it?

    Or heck, just to be happy with something well designed at all, regardless of origin. A well designed product counts as a win for the human species, I would say, since it serves as a model and an example anyone can follow.
