coolfactor said: The technology exists now... Apple should focus on fully automated assembly in "micro-factories" located in each strategic market. As demand goes up and down, so does output. Time for a monumental shift in thinking. W…

coolfactor said: I'm very confused by this... Specifically, the EU claims that Apple has failed to comply with an obligation to allow developers in its App Store to freely inform customers of alternative offers, "steer them to those offers …
