The Federal Trade Commission states specifically, "For the 'assembly' claim to be valid, the product's last 'substantial transformation' also should have occurred in the U.S. That's why a 'screwdriver' assembly in the U.S. of foreign components into a final product at the end of the manufacturing process doesn't usually qualify for the 'Assembled in USA' claim."
- 'substantial' is subjectivenb
- not to the FTC it isn'tmonospaced

"Assembled" can mean anything.

I don't think so. It's Apple trying to be 'by the people for the people'

Apple building computers in the US is a sign of how devastated the economy is. It's now cheaper to build in the US than in China. This is not good news.

- If it is actually cheaper to build in USA, it's great news. It means things are balancing out. Plus, better working conditions in the states.nb
- conditions in the states. Hard to say if they're doing it because it's cheaper.nb

Tim Cook tells NBC Apple will be building Macs in the U.S.
FORTUNE -- Tim Cook drops a bombshell in his interview with Brian Williams scheduled to air Thursday evening: Apple (AAPL) next year will begin manufacturing one of its existing Mac lines exclusively in the U.S.
- not much of bomb shell.. they are putting them together here. They are still being built/manufactured in China.. pure PR.monolith
- Pure PR.monolith
- not necessarily, the whole point was that the China thing will be significantly less to nonemonospaced

ahahahha, get a grip apple
Apple is trying to patent wireless charging, claiming its magnetic resonance tech is new and that it can do it better than anyone else. This would be cool if its assertions were true.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/201…- Apple invented everything. Including inventing itself. Didn't you know?ETM
- There's probably a thousand ways to do wireless charging, and a thousand patents along with it.inteliboy
- they invented the apple and named them selves after it, having invented naming a little earlier but after inventing time.craigatkinson

- I'd blame the movie studio in this instance.Nathan_Adams

- yeah that's happens on a lot of content - not just via itunes either.inteliboy
- Like he said blame the studios. Apple isnt sitting there thinking "how can we screw with this guy."ArmandoEstrada
- I didnt even know there was Content Protection Displays. That just seems dumb.ESKEMA
- You should have bought it on the microsoft movie store. Oh, waitmonospaced
- Perhaps I could have received a warning on what it will and won't play on, instead of nudging me to upgrade.instrmntl
- Your fanboy comments are getting old.instrmntl
- Apple agreed to use that protection standard, and can't support it properly.zarkonite
- your obsession with hating on your expensive apple stuff is also getting oldmonospaced

no, its fine in pocket and because its flat and fills the pocket its less noticeable than the iphone. Front pocket with wallet / levis is ok.
iphone5 isnt much good. Plus the black comes off after a day.
- But can you use it with one hand? The phone that is.qTime
- craigatkinson0
I ditched my iphone 5 which admittedly I got because I thought it'd b good. It was ok, a phone etc. Too thin to hold and use with it's new shape and too light. The 4 felt much better.
I got a Galaxy note 2 - really very good. Not missing anything from iphone and gained over £100. I used to dislike Android but that and ios are now as good as each other, and the battery on the note is amazing. 4 days with good use.- I've yet to see one in the wildGeorgesII
- you got a 5 and you're already getting rid of it? jeez. i haven't even seen one in real life.CanHasQBN
- The Note is also the size of a house. You sir, have big pocketspig

They are starting to slip already - sooner than I expected. Maps was just the beginning. I'm glad Forstall is gone.
It's sad. I endured the crap that was apple during the 90's, so it's not hard to remember paying twice as much for a computer that basically sucked. It won't reach "suck" all that soon, but the glory days are definitely over.
I miss Jobs.
- let's face it, apple becoming stale in the eyes of many will be a humongous change allready. even if most of it was clever marketingWeyland
- ... clever marketing to begin withWeyland
- I don't buy it was clever mkt, it was good products.antagonista
- if the clever marketing was true we all would have apple TVs. stop believing that nonsenseernexbcn
- Apple has had great products and denying that fact is being dishonesternexbcn
- I said 'stale' for lack of innovation, products are fine, I own some ;)Weyland

For 10+ years now I've been reading on the internet about Apple's new "fail" or how Apple are "doomed". Right...
- actually, i haven't heard of this "doomed" talk until recently.CanHasQBN
- yeah, it's not been a thing for the last 10 years really.zarkonite
- really? check out the response the first ipod received on message boards.inteliboy
- Sooo...even if that was true, how could then the "doom" of Apple be, if the first ipod was the one to eventually bring them to into mainstream then to "the top"?Peter
- ...mainstream then to "the top"?Peter
- exactlyinteliboy
- Maybe I'm not being clear here...Peter
- the fall of apple has only really been a discussion ever since Jobs died or was diagnosed.randommail

"The WSJ's main focus is on a newer program called "Blue Sky" that allows certain staffers to spend "a few weeks on a pet engineering project." This is apparently Apple's version of Google's "20 percent time," where employees are allowed to use a fifth of their paid time at work to focus on their own projects."
I'm sure they have tons of in-house talent, letting them express themselves a little more might be good.
- they will all make skeumorphic egg timer apps anywayWeyland
