well, upyourkarma!
This news reveals an important piece: The is no real redundancy in the suppliers when in comes to important parts of todays' devices. I often see* that the hard disk array suppliers keep buying them from a couple of asian outfits thinking they will be safe hands. But the asian hardware vendors themselves buy/order from the same manufacturer of platters/board/NAND creating a single point of failure scenario.
There should be a clear visibility of the supply chain of not just the end/whole product but also the key components of it. In another story, heard that shipping of Sonys' SEL50F18 lenses for NEX cameras are pushed to Mar'12 after users payed for it, for the same reason.
* working for a big storage co.

Dont worry about people born after 1990 not knowing of American made things.
The wars it is making are proving your point and especially people in so called shitty foreign places are experiencing to the fullest.
A "talented" coder is like a UFO. Everyone talks about them. Some of them say the place in the other business park has one. But no one's really sure what one looks like, or how to tell if one's real when it comes time to interview people for a position.
Agree with this. 45 mins each with 4 strangers can be a better model for identifying talent in pros other than coders.
Have you heard of open source software? Nothing ever gets done because they keep "forking" things when they have their own ideas!
Disagree with this. Freedom in OSS lets you come up with innovation beyond deadlines, budgets, managers. Its not fast, but evolution wasn't either.
