Apple does not design and produce their products in America. Foxconn is one of their main manufacturers and R&D partners. Foxconn is responsible for the Mac mini, the iPod and the iPhone, they're most certainly not American.

You might remember this company from not too long ago. They got some less-than-good press for having one of their employees mysteriously disappear. This happens after he lost track of one of the prototypes of a future generation iPhone for which he was responsible--this was not his first time losing a prototype.

I didnt say produce, I said design lol It says inside the boxes I've opened so far (mac,earphones,ipods) "Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China". Im not trying to argue at all, nor am I out to bash anything. I'd just rather invest in something that has some American influence in it. As far as I know they're a mostly American company.

I wasnt aware about the whole employee deal. Thanks for sharing though.

Yeah, the missing employee got thrown out of hand. Last I heard, still no word on what happened to the guy.

I have just never really had the opportunity to sit and use a Mac. That, and I've got 12 years experience developing software under windows and/or linux platforms. Mostly because I couldn't afford more than one machine for a long time, and the machine I owned had to work with the rest of my company. That, and I am also a blackberry owner... again because I can develop for it (java... which works on lots of platforms including Windows and Linux)

I know that apples are, in general, a bit snappier than their PC counterparts, but that also changed a little when Intel started designing their processors. And I have a friend who swears by them for all of his graphics designing and video editing... But I have photoshop also....

So its really a preference thing... Unless you're a gamer...
