No Apple has just finally started using their latest product... the iOutsource

If it is Cancer, sorry to hear that
He got pancreatic cancer seven years ago.  Most people live about two years after diagnosis.  He has had a liver transplant and, I seem to recall, part of a lung removed. He took a leave of absence a few months ago for health reasons, and has now resigned before coming back.

To be honest, I expect we'll be reading his obituary soon.

I'm a fan and a concerned user, having had about 6 of their desktops (3 right now) over the years. I'm very worried that

Apple - Jobs = Centris

Been there, done that. It wasn't bad, if you don't mind living in a weird twilight zone between a PC and a Mac. BTW, I will be loading AH to the Windows 7 side of my latest Mac shortly so that my exchange student and I can fight each other in the DA. I will give a report. For now, I'll say that my AH platform has been, for the last year or so, a Mac Mini running Windows XP and that that platform and system run AH very well. I'll get the occasional "Windows has encountered a problem" but it's rare. We'll see how Lion running Windows 7 fares. I'm quite suspicious of Windows 7. It looks like typically junky Windows kerrap but maybe I'm just jaded from having lived with a number of Windows desktops and laptops (mostly for work - because you sure don't use 'em for pleasure), all of which compare quite unfavorably to my beloved Macs.

Time to shift investments back to HP. I read somewhere, Apple had to provide safety nets around their manufacturing plants in China in order to reduce their suicide rates. LOL, people jumping out of the building expecting to die in order to find a better future.

WOW! Good riddance Steve! China takes the hit.

Who's Next? maybe India.

Time to bring the manufacturing jobs home........... Screw the Global order.

I might be in trouble with this post..........wouldn't be the first time!

HP just announced they're quitting their PC and tablet production totally :)

Oh, and HP is using the same subcontractors with Apple. It's just the haters that narrow the scope of view.

someone will buy the hardware business, although the prices will go up for sure, and medium/long term the quality will go down :(

Any company doing business with Foxconn supports slavery and inhumane work conditions.  Apple just happens to buy the highest percentage of product off the end of the Foxconn assembly lines.

Of course, this could always happen too.

You might as well just refuse to buy anything made in the PRC, given the relative severity of the incidents involving FoxConn.
