Back in the day even a branded t-shirt cost $50 but had the "Made in USA" label to make up for it. Some years later it was $75 and was manufactured you know where at...

Sure, in Shenzhen, Henan province, etc. :)

In fact America's economic situation can be attributed to the great betrayal of the American worker by the corporations. The void they've created by...

Re: The world of automation

The limitation isn't the whole browser thing or needing to be online all the time - those are all urban myths that defy logic. Like which computer doesn't need to be online to do... online things...

Re: The world of automation

IOS is a good system, perfect for tablet use. It's not meant to replace a desktop though.

Re: The world of automation

How much have Samsung shares tanked over this? Sheesh!

The iPhone or iPad is way ahead of all this Android junk, both in terms of hardware as well as software. Even Android fanatics will admit...

Re: The world of automation

Re: The world of automation

Re: The world of automation
