    What would have been really cool is if they preloaded a copy of the constitution, then maybe he'd actually read it.

    Edit: I'm a stockholder in Apple and the U.S.

    He'd better hold Steve Jobs and Apple in high regard- can you imagine the economic figures without a healthy Apple? All the employees Apple now has are driving this economy and its products are driving China's too.



    I wonder if Steve wants to pay higher taxes though?

    Well considering the fact that Obama is a constitutional lawyer, I would bet money that he knows that document inside and out...

    The funny thing is that they would hire more people here in the US if only the citizens of the US were educated and qualified for the positions they would be offering them.

    Please don't go there, I'm tired of political extremists... The last POTUS was no war criminal and the current one is no criminal either. I hate how much people use the POTUS as a scapegoat... he is not the only one to blame.

    I dont know that is true. Companies choose to send most of their engineering job overseas to save on development costs. Not because they have a hard time finding capable people.



    Apple is different then most other companies. They have only sent manufacturing jobs overseas.

    What engineer do you know that makes only $4.00 an hr



    Apple does not hire people in the US to do manual labor. They hire people in the US who have brain power. Apparently, brain power is in short supply here in the US. This is why people remain out of work for extended periods of time instead of pulling themselves up by their boot straps.

    We only have our own Walmart mentality to blame for this. There is a price for buying cheap.

    Engineered in California. Says so right on the box.



    Manufactured in China. Average salary in Shanghai is what? $10K a year? Reckon they are doing 40 hour weeks?



    The post I replied to didn't say Engineering jobs but I reckon there are a few Engineering jobs skewing that Shanghai average.

    Please I get like a zillion companies a week hitting me up for jobs. They calling me all hours of the day trying to get me work with some company they are head hunting for. I know engineers and programmers must be in short supply because everyday I have a linked in mailbox full of recruiters asking me to work for their company.
