“The only way they can survive is to send jobs abroad.”
Yeah, I heard the guys that screwed up the MobileMe launch have been pooling their money to buy Jobs a high class hooker.
“so U.S. corps can pay a CEO $100 million per yr and when it tanks, another $100 million severance package, but they can’t afford decent salaries for middle & lower level workers?”
Don’t forget the millions in bonus loot they get when they layoff thousands of workers to cut costs. Plus the stock market considers them heroes, the stock price rises, and the bastards make money on that too. Ah, sweet capitalism.
@Portney’s Complaint
I used to work for the company that built those devices used in Apple stores to ring up sales. That company was bought out by Motorola a few years back and has been one of the few profitable divisions of Motorola. You’re talking about a glorified portable cash register which can only accept credit and debit cards. Apple had nothing like it in their portfolio so they chose this device. There may be a sense of irony here but dumb terminals , kiosk and cash registers are a big part of what made windows a defacto dominant operating system. Sheilded from the net , these devices are perfectly fine. They communicate with Mac towers in the back rooms via spread spectrum radio. The towers do all the heavy lifting (logging serial numbers, tracking sales , debiting inventory , and re-ordering stock). I made the comment to an Apple employee at the Roosevelt field store that his could probably be done with a laser scanning unit clipped to an IPod touch. There is already a barcode reading app in in the app store using the camera from the iphone to capture a picture of the barcode. Spread spectrum radio can be replaced by wifi and you will probably see those windows mobile devices out of Apple stores within a year or 2( that is if Apple can sneak a few off the production line for their own uses).
