iBrick: "Revolutionary" SALES Process...

Look There may be a "Revolutionary Manufacturing process" code named iBrick (I LOVE code names!). But in advance of being proven incorrect. I call bullshit.

1, Customers do not care about "Process" if it makes the product better GREAT we love it but sans improvement no sales. So for example the laptop were more ridged or significantly lighter or better at dissipating heat. it would be killer.

2, If there is a "process" why would it have to be here and Apple building factories? Double Bullshit!. One of the reasons Apple is so Profitable is they do not own factories or huge backlogs of inventory. It also provides them flexibility in product design, and does not mary them to plant and equipment that can (READ WILL) become obsolete.

3, As an example. Dell and AMD have BOTH announced in recent weeks that they are selling off factories and ramping up orders from third party manufacturers in an effort to cut costs. I point this out just as a corporate reality of the immense cost of owning manufacturing. Dell and AMD are not companies that Apple should generally be emulating (Apple=good, Dell=huh?)

Really revolutionary would be having the iBrick sold on street corners by Earthfriend Jen. "Would you like some water or Hemp with that?"

I'm just sayin.
