Why Is Dell Trying to Compete With the iPod?

Very sad.
The kind of people who might help Dell are EXACTLY the kind of people Dell would never employ.

Thats normal for most companies getting old - they wont/cant change.

What would I do with Dell?
Build a new Linux desktop that works - spend a TON of cash on some young code writers and try to embrace all that is NOT MSFT.

The Computer (Manufacturing) Revolution Continues...

If US workers were building the computers, then OK, but as Tan already said, its young slaves in China.

This might be the decline and fall of the USA unless we can stop this blatant abuse of humans.

Is there any manufacturing left in the USA? Are we so stupid and greedy that soon we wont be able to even mend a fence?

The USA needs to get back to doing what it always did best - making stuff!
