Some Apple iMacs "Assembled In America"

Posted by samzenpus on from the american-made dept.

whisper_jeff writes "A number of newly-purchased standard units are showing an "Assembled in America" notation. While the markings don't necessarily mean that Apple is in the midst of transferring its entire assembly operation from China to the U.S., it does indicate that at least a few of the new iMacs were substantially assembled domestically."

    Every house, particularly those with children, should have a globe. Mine are next to each other on the book shelf, about ten feet away at the moment.

    Its great that they're reading the globe, but should you really keep your children on the book shelf like that?
