I'm sure people are happy to buy a nice place in Mumbai, so the market supports higher prices. No one wants to live in a corrupt one-party third-world conflict zone like Detroit.
Perhaps the corruption favors them over there, and it favors you over where you are.
Mumbai by comparison, makes Detroit look clean.
Outside of Detroit, things are more in tune with reality with respect to prices.
When they were challenged for truth in reporting, they dismissed it as entertainment that didn't need fact checking.
It's not dissent as much as it's a far right-wing pulpit with token elements of opposition. Never mind that they frequently harass Turner & Cox as if Atlanta was made of evil.
No, I don't work for either of them. I just know that CNN isn't the only one who crosses the line of journalistic integrity.
and that he hopes to have Chinese manufacturing partners producing the $250 Alpha 680 within 3 months."
Cut rate design, cut-rate components, and no EDGE/EVDO/3G.
If I want a netbook, I'll opt for a E90 or one of the recent HTC qwerty phones to replace my 9500. The HTC one can do Android, the E90 does Series 60 quite well.
If I want a relatively slim and small "full-size" machine, I'll go for a Thinkpad of some sort. At least those havent gone cut-rate.
How about being more flexible with the degree requirement for some stuff that simply doesn't require it?
If anything, the "skilled worker" program needs to be removed; it only makes citizenship an undue penalty. Second, make offshoring very unpalatable and the penalties unescapable.
Apple is still the only computer maker that understands the value of integrated hardware and software design. No piecemeal computer kit thrown together by others will ever quite match the integrated holistic approach of Apple products.
You could have said that Apple has mastered lock-in while appearing to be open.
The bailouts were supposed to preserve jobs for US workers. But, the execs pocketed the money, and fired the employees anyway. I guess the US public never learns.
Then get some means to put some real teeth to the bill. Make it near-impossible for them to do anything but preserve US work on the long-term.

Basically, the first tier of folks who took American jobs.

You have to remember the context. People are riding with three men, a woman and her baby all on a single motorcycle.
And tell me how this is worse than when they cram 7-8 people in a single 'took took'? Those things are like three wheel baby golf carts!
The Tata is an improvement on that, it is a four wheel golfcart.
Tata cars have proven themselves to be unsafe for driving (no protection, and the car frame is too thin)
i wouldn't be surprised if these buildings couldn't survive 45 mph winds
Never mind the call center workers who also provide the same abysmally low service.
The comments section might attract those types in a newspaper, but it's a different type at blogs.
For an issue such as what Daringfireball discusses, he's demonstrating that he can't take the heat.
If somewhere drops comments that I've been at, I no longer read them, and consider their opinions on other sites a couple notches above spam.
They try to hide a slant and call it "fair reporting".
Bias fail on your part.

That sounds like you've got a T60p, not a regular run-of-the-mill T60.
Before Lenovo messed with IBM designs, they had very good displays. Now the best you can get is two TN screens in their W700ds.

In other words, this is just a puff piece for something that may not even exist.

...at least your expense will be worth something, can run OSX and has the optical drive included.
Going high end would mean them returning all support to the US and seeing how they can cram an E-IPS panel into a laptop form factor.
Who did they ODM this one off of to get this model? I don't believe Dell does any sort of design beyond finding a suitable ODM.
A lot of those places would be ripe for being toppled over. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to do multiple if not all of them at the same time.
What's a few small islands or easily knocked over countries between friends with tax haven problems?
That is, allowing for a certain redefinition of planet to include more 'living bodies'? (see hover text at xkcd #541)
Butterflies and cosmic rays are hard. Let us set the universal constants at the start so it evolves to contain the disk with the data we want.
(/xkcd)
It will only be a matter of time before the knockoffs come marching in.
Tag line: "Why buy a Netbook(TM) when you can have a Dell?" (with proper attribution for Netbook, naturally).
Dell had the lack of quality right, they just needed to shove it into a smaller form factor.
We just need Geithner to follow through and just label China as a manipulator.
The rest will take care of itself.
Besides, I'd think they'd make you sign a contract in blood.
Even if you're not union, it motivates business to keep conditions that are far from slave labor.
Close the loophole and ignore their protests.
