    all those sales would turn to returns and permanently tarnish her brand if her company's products started falling apart due to poor quality resulting from her treating her subordinates like dogs or interchangeable parts.

    Disagree. When it comes to fashion and style, quality does not play much of a factor.

    She could have quality standards far below even the "unofficial knock offs" and still be able to sell the product. So long as they dont fall apart in 3 months her name alone will sell.

    it doesn't matter if she hired quadriplegics to sew the bags with their teeth. what sells is the name.

    in her case its kind of true. The world of style is well... more about style than substance. In this case, the name on the bag is more important than the quality of the stitches.

    Not only do I expect Apple to jump on this bandwagon, I expect them to "one up" all the other OEMs

    Now Apple can sell EXACTLY the same iMac configuration, but call one "Unlocked Version" and charge $200 for it. Fuck, it'd be one of those little radiobuttons you pick when configuring a MacbookPro.

    Wow... the two countries that amaze me on that graph are
    1) Canada - I would have figured proximity to US and sharing of many US cultural (McDicks and similar food dishes... + the Quebec extreme calorie cultural dishes ... eg poutine, maple sugar shacks) values would cause Canada to have a obesity rate closer to the US.
    2) Mexico - Different language, very different culture, different food from the US... i would have thought their obesity rates to be much lower.
