Looks to me like Apple started game they couldn't finish. If only they'd just used a bit of common sense by avoiding upsetting the hornet's nest. Oh well. What comes around goes around. I couldn't definitively say whether karma truly exists, b…

ASSUMING the rumor is true...and I'm going just do so for now. All this squabbling's kinda pointless. At the end of the day, I see this as a win-win for everyone. Apple doesn't need to waste time and money on building its own factories. It can …
