Apple fanboys calm down! I'm not mad about how well Apple is doing, they'e earned their success. They've made some great products and they've made some great business decisions, like using offshore manufacturing. My complaint with Apple is with choice to start a dishonest conversation about jobs in the US instead of talking about why they use foreign manfacturing. They don't want to talk about their "China problem" because it's unpopulart so they spin a story about how many US jobs they have created to distract you. If they were proud of their offshore manufacturing, why don't they have a page about that? Don't hold your breath waiting ro that one. Why would they put that page up? What's in it for them? It distracts you from the problem and makes you like them for creating jobs they had to create anyay.

> They don't want to talk about their "China problem" What else do you want Apple to say? It is common knowledge that they outsource manufacturing overseas, and it's common knowledge that they do it simply to maximize profits, however, it's not something to be publicly proud or ashamed of, it's just business. Making lots of jobs in America, OTOH, is very positive.

  They don't just want to avoid talking about it, they are actively working to spin it. If they had said nothing about jobs in the US, which came completely out of nowhere, I would have a lot more respect for them. They are acting ashamed by trying to distract everyone. Yes, be proud that you created jobs, but be honest about why you're suddenly trying to draw attention to that fact.
