Think about this for a moment. You're saying that Apple has no iPods in inventory, and when I order one online, they manufacture it for me? Really?

- sambeau 15y agoNope. I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying if you order a custom machine from Apple they build it to order. I have followed this process online from manufacture to delivery. On a more general note… Saying X does Y does not imply X only does Y. However saying X was wrong in their prediction of Y doing Z can be disproven by one present example of Y doing Z. We can argue how much the internet has been a cause of some companies adopting build-on-demand or the relative slow uptake of build-on-demand as a strategy (and whether the adoption of China as the de-facto mass-manufacturer for all modern goods and the subsequent need to bulk order in advance is a major factor in its uptake) . However we cannot argue about whether some businesses do it. This is proven.
