So, the US consumers (us) complain about scratches caused by rubbing keys on the iPhone 5, which probably caused the whole "stricter quality control" thing, and then turn around and complain about the stricter quality control thing?
Can we stop this already? There is really much less of a technical challenge to make tethered jailbreak working, and much less interesting to the jb community.
It's only a minor part of the story. Aside from prices consumers are willing to pay, there are also profits. Even if we are willing to pay more, corporations are still going to outsource to maximize their profits.
I think we just have to accept it. We just have to live with the fact that US is the home of innovation and creative work, but not necessarily manfacturing. I disagree that investing in China creates no US jobs - that's shortsighted. You look at 40K Chinese workers, and you should also look at the new Apple campus that is going to host more than 10K highly-paid engineers. Don't be stupid and think that's not jobs.
He paid exit tax when he renounced US citizenship. It was valued as the FMV at that time, which seemed fair (and even in favor of the US, since he hadn't actually sold the shares).
Pass a law to dictate that Facebook share price would go down after IPO, therefore punishing the guy who gambled the price would go up.
Remember, the dude has already paid the exit tax when he renounced citizenship, based on the FMV of his shares at that time. He'd only save tax if the share actually go up.
You want more laws, Senator? Here is the ridiculous law for your revenge.
It's funny how people in the west criticize things thousands miles away in a country which they actually know very little about.
You have good intentions, I admit. Just like you'd send troops to "free" people in countries like Iraq. Because the west simply knows the best.
It's easy to get on the moral ground and throw your opinions around. I think GP asked a good question: if there were another, better civilization (heck, it could be the aliens) came and told the American people that your working conditions sucked, and demanded radical changes, so that you lost your current job, would you be happy about it? Or, you'd rather push changes in your own pace and way and see that gets implemented in your own society?
The Chinese people are not slaves or animals. Ironically, I have a feeling that some people who try to help them view them as so. Give them some credit and let them fight their own fights.
Yes, flag me flamebait and continue to deny the issue.
People defending the status quo are people who apparently don't do real business. We've got a real developer on Android on the other hand, who has TRIED to support it. I best there are not many people in this thread that have done so.
How does Facebook do it (the Like button)? Does Facebook also circumvent it this way? Either Facebook found a way to do it better, or they are both doing the same thing.
Can we stop the Google/Microsoft bashing and focus on the techniques please?

No wonder customers are always right.
The whole summary made so much more sense until I realized it was not "Moronism".
: Immoral crimes exist and one of the ways to change them is to break them.
As they say, if this is a legitimate crime, your body will resist and stop you from committing it.
I'd like a young pretty chick, please. I can do all the coding and she can just make me comfortable while I am doing it.
How about a kidnapped victim tries to text at the backseat without being detected..
Yes, I completely agree. This order is clearly unconstitutional.
This reads like a novel and sounds like a novel, so it's probably a novel.
It's not like the kernel source is not full of dirty words already.

It takes 5 years or more for people from certain countries (India/China) to get a greencard after they obtain advanced degrees in the US.
Politicians don't care or talk about this, because these people don't give them enough votes. That's the problem.
Just arrest all LISP programmers and beat them up until they talk. There aren't many anyways.
Is she the first female Chinese astronaut? Yes. So anything wrong mentioning that fact?
Wonder why your driver's license lists you are a man (or woman)? Is that sexism?

I see nothing wrong with that.

Enough said.
How about "Congress has been linked with corruption and abuse of power" for any campaign Ads?

I haven't seen a terrorist since 9/11. Have you?
Microsoft Research comes up with a prototype that barely works. Apple wraps it up and gives it a foreign name and sells it like crazy.
