The fags at Apple schmered the judge (bribed him for you in Rio Linda) and this is the only reason Apple prevails tempoarily
There may be elegant and robust ways to stack a dozen parts into a case and track the process, but compared to machining, and heat treating a hundred or more pieces of specialty steel and fitting them to tolerances measured in microns, then doing a functional mechanical test, I’m not grasping the scope of the problem.
Good for them that they’re not actually single sourced. If you feel like sending me a link that goes into the details of the production process, I’d love to have a look.

Dali was not a communist. How do you figure that?
I find it awfully ironic that the very country that is the most flagrant at allowing patent and trademark infringement is playing the “protect trademark” game.
This is all about playing extortion games by the ChiComs. They don’t want to lose the Apple manufacturing (and really don’t expect to). They are hoping to squeeze Apple for some more kickbacks.
But your post is decidedly uninformed and biased - what other major computer/electronics manufacturer does NOT produce their product in China? Foot, even our old faithful US Musical instrument makers are now doing the bulk of their production over there... While that doesn’t make it right, look to our own governments to see why.
OK - which computer or other consumer electronics are made 100% here in the USA? We need a list so we can start our shopping...
Perhaps, but I am not sure of it. However, I was thinking about his friend and sometimes mentor, Pablo Picasso. As I researched Dali and saw his picture I immediately knew my mistake.
Pablo Picasso declared himself a communist but that was a small part of his life. Top of his agenda was having as many affairs and hookups as possible and his artwork which is not to my taste
Successful entrepreneurs are clever and greedy.
If the enterprise gets too large, and becomes an MNC, then the collective mindset becomes stupid and greedy.
(remember when Google's motto was "don't be evil" ?)
(or Bill Gates forgoing all security in earlier versions of Windoze to enhance "connectivity" or whatever the fad buzzword was. He fairly *bred* viruses.)
Cheers!

I appreciate the correction, but I'm too far gone to care.

I recall my fifth grade teacher Mr Hout telling us something in 67 that has stuck with me for some reason.
He was explaining GDP and why it was so important. He said we were the largest producer and thats why we are a great country.
I recall very little from back then but that has always stuck.
Just last week Rush Limbaugh said that champing was correct and that someone had told he’d been doing it wrong (chomping) for years.
My friendly online dictionary says champing is just an other word for chomp.
Champing at the bit (or mistakenly as chomping at the bit or chafing at the bit) refers to a tendency of some horses, when impatient or nervous, and especially if being held back by their riders, to chew on the bit, often salivating excessively. This behavior is sometimes accompanied by head-tossing or pawing at the ground. Because this behavior was most often seen by the general public in horses who were anxious to begin a horse race in the days before the invention of the starting gate, the term has become popular in everyday speech to refer to a person who is anxious to get started or to do something. Because some impatient horses, when held back, would also occasionally rear, a related phrase, “raring to go,” is also derived from observations of equine behavior.

Champing is the much better usage by 20x in my opinion. Use chomp if you want but.........
I have lived all my life in the South and we chomp so I am going to keep on chomping. We also say crawfish instead of crayfish and prawlines instead of praylines. Y’all can talk any way you want but I ain’t achangin’.
