You try to build a wheeled cart (using period available materials and tech) that is more efficient moving goods through rainforests and mountains than a few serfs carrying it on their backs.
Dude, Yucatán is not a place where you can build a roman-style road.
Patents ARE enforced in Mexico, however, even brand name medications are cheaper here than in the US. Not local labs, I am talking about Bayer, AstraZeneca, Merck, etc...
Of course, generics are even cheaper (I paid the equivalent of.50 US cents for a pack of aspirin the other day), but those patents are already expired.
Sony missed the boat when the first harddisk based MP3 players hit the market... Sony-the-electronics-giant had a prototype Walkman that was basically an iPod, but Sony-the-music-label blackballed the proposal, and only relented when the iPod was already a huge success. And even then, they insisted on the ackward "check-in, check-out" system that plagues Sony music players to this day.
I think the story of "how the heck did the company who invented the Walkman dropped the ball on the personal music player" will remain in history as one of the top management blunders, along with the New Coke and the Edsel

Slightly Off Topic: Why doesn't Slashdot cache pages on it's own servers for sites it links to in main articles for 24 hours? I'm sure there's a lot of angry webmasters out there that would appreciate this. You must be new here...

The whole issue about the car filled with water and with a seat missing was waaay too suspicious to begin with... And he ended the job burying himself alive in the stand.
After that, not even the Chewbacca defense may have saved him
I once spent 48hrs in custody and 2 years of going to hearings for not listening to this basic piece of advise.
I ended up proving myself innocent of what I was being accused of (and the real guilty party, my boss at the time, was never accused).
So, I learned two valuable lessons after this ordeal:
1- If you find out that your boss is doing unethical and illegal stuff, quit your job.
2- If you find yourself being questioned by the police about something, ask first if you are under arrest. If you are, don't say a word to the cops until you get your lawyer to speak for you.
Although this is kind of a non-issue if only Lenovo is doing that because my employer won't buy from China... what with the phone home possibilities of hardware and all. Just wondering what hardware is your employer willing to buy, since everything is at least partly made in China nowadays...

Just for the record, thanks for coming here to explain
Don't feed the troll, compadre!
Ah, ok... thanks

I think the reason Stallman hasn't responded is because he passed out when he read that and hasnt regained consciousness...
...that makes AMD more competitive and sell more processors is a good thing in my book.
After all, healthy competition keeps them honest, eh?
Instead of Iron Man references, I'd say instead that the US Army is now in charge of Gundam
