Apple makes an awkward new hire

Let’s all be fair....it is not like Apple is the only company that offshore job to low labor cost countries. If our own country did not regulate the companies 'out of business' i am sure more would stay. As for Samsung being the new Apple... REALLY? all they have done is taken what Apple has innovated and added a few bells and whistles....

Apples innovation changed the landscape of communication for humanity. The same as what Tesla did for electric power (i.e. AC vs DC). The bottom line is that Apple is secretive about their business and rightfully so. If they were not you could rest assure that Samsung or others would be stealing their ideas! 

Dear OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE,

Do you not beleive people have personal responsibiltiy?  You people are always believing someone and usually a corporation for the poor decisions of people.  In this case you believ target marketing for poor people chosing a I-phone over food!  Are you serious?  First off what "target marketing"  Secondly,  you have a very low opinion of people assuming they are too stupid to know to chose food over a I-phone.

I say, people chose to not take responsibility for themselves because the likes of Obama, Nancy, Reid tell them "it is not your fault", "Someone else screwed you", and "it is ok, we will buy you a phone, pay for your food, garantee you medicine and retirement".  Given that I must say that people are only being logical playing the hands that Obama gives them.  It is the rest of us that are stupid for continuing to vote for these people who only steal from us.  We are stupid if we do not see it.  Those on the take are not stupid, they know what is going on and TAKE it.  Then, like you, they paly the whine game, the blame game, .....

So yes, OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE.

Good for you! What about the people who can't afford even food but are dragged into the fray of believing that they need an apple product because of the companies method of targeting consumers? In the end, people don't need a high end computer, they need a product, an affordable product that helps them learn and be productive, not fashionable and broken. For those who resell yes they do it cause by the time the product turns around and a new one is introduce the persons who wanted the first version have scrimped and saved and neglected some of their more important needs to get the now old model because they were fooled by the media/advertisement sensation. The APPLE is rotten to the core, and all they do with your money is keep it off shore and yet you still give more to them for worthless junk. Tell me who has become more intelligent by using these products  in the time that they have been producing them?

Now you have the people feeling that we need it in schools so the people will have to cover the cost with Tax Payers Dollars and again apple becomes even more rich while the students cant even write a letter cause the depend on spell check and apps to write and spell for them. Don't you see man's devices are deceitful and misleading, these are the products of man and they benefit nothing more than fools self-worth. Just my opinion.

I am an old man with no life in me. but I do no this apple is bad. arrogant and like myself....always thinking of me me me

LKJ Holdings,

You are right economics dictate.  Those who complain about off-shoring are in denial of reality. 

For most companies, if they did not manufacture XYZ product in an off-shore location, they would not mfg AT ALL.  Why?  FIrst off if they did not mfg off-shore some Asian Company or European company would, and produce teh product much cheaper than the U.S. firm.  Is this not OBVIOUS?  Then, again the left wants what they want and they want the "reality" they chose, so the deny the obvious here.  Secondly, you have Obama/Leftist regulation.  They push for the most expensive energy prices , ie wind and solar, which mfg have to buy here in the U.S.  Again, U.S. cost competetiveness goes out hte window!  How does a U.S. firm who may have to purchse 20 cent or 30 cent a KW power compete with cheap coal energy in China?  Well, they can't unless they go off-shore and buy that cheap power.  Again, you can wish this is not true but it is.  There are dozens of such realities, but teh left wishes to scream and deny it all.
