That’s great! And a great program to invest in America and Americans.

Yes, this is an appropriate way to invest in America.  Investing into sustainable new technologies rather than following the Luddite view of creating old-world manual-labor manufacturing jobs.  

I have to say you are grossly out of touch with reality here, there is always manual labor no mater how advanced your manufacturing systems. I’ve spent an entire career in automation and can say with confidence that you still need people to run the machines and that often entails very manual work.  This by the way is right here in the USA!  

While I will not go into details it is amazing to see how manufacturing systems have changed in the last 4 decades.   We have gone from virtually zero automation to some of the most unique and automated production lines on the planet.  Still there are people manning those lines doing manual work.  

Apple TV needs a couple of USB ports to support user interaction devices and frankly better bluetooth support.  Simulators and the like most certainly benefit from wired connections.

Brings make memories of the GT ADVANCED (GTAT) Sapphire turmoil.

Maybe not!   This could be a mistake on Apples part.  If successful a QD based sensor could have higher sensitivity so there is good reason to pursue this tech.   Any number of companies could step in here.  

Sadly if the 1906 Earthquake was to be repeated somebody would immediately blame it on global warming.   

Interesting update, I have to agree Apple could have done better.  However we should t be surprised, Apple has been on a run with poor updates to products that deserve better.
