You seem to ignore the fact that consumers(you and me) wanted cheaper products, but expected to be paid a living wage(what ever that is). So, instead of supporting their fellow citizens that made their products at a living wage, they chose to purchase the cheaper products made in foreign nations. Yes, manufactures went there. But yes, consumers wanted the cheap products. To ignore both of these facts shows you being very biased and narrow minded.
"You seem to ignore the fact " Um, no I didn't. I just never mentioned it. No consumer wants to pay a higher price without any added benefit. That's like saying water is wet. Its so obvious it doesn't need to be said. How companies go about providing a good product and competing in a capitalist economy is the real trick. Either their profit margin is lower or their quality goes down by using cheaper product. In this case the production of the cheaper product was completed in a foreign country. It seems you are the one who ignored the facts and are being biased and narrow minded.
Since when has China created any truly new tech? I expect they'll use a Linux or BSD distro and fork it to suit their spying requirements.

Easy shoes to fill, because even Goofy could have done as well.
I am guessing you thought Bill Gates didn't do too well during his tenure. I am not so sure Steve Jobs would have agreed.
Because you know, guys with guns fleeing after a firefight and a violent encounter with police are totally white, nice and fluffy, model citizens
What does being white have to do with anything?
Word from inside the company is that Sinofsky made the devs "p4 obliterate" the Start menu code, meaning not only did they delete it but they wiped the entire history of the code from their source control. If true, it would mean that they couldn't just "bring back" the start menu, they'd have to entirely rewrite it.
They wouldn't have to rewrite it. That's silly. They would just go back to a version of the code when it existed. Microsoft doesn't have one flat file with their code in it. There are literally hundreds of versions that exist with different source branches etc.
