The sad fact is that Apple is no different than any other electronics company. It's a "chicken or the egg" discussion, really. Until Americans are willing to pay more for products, they will continue to be built elsewhere. But we can't afford to pay more until those higher paying jobs come back to the U.S. Related posts:

StockLogos takes a look back at logo redesigns of large corporations from 2011. Some saw great improvement, like JCPenney, StumbleUpon, and Uber. Others are stuck with a visual disaster, like NBC Universal, Current, and the dumpster fire you see above.]]> http://www.thegraphicmac.com/famous-logo-redesigns-of-2011/feed 0 Rant: The annoying year that was 2011 http://www.thegraphicmac.com/rant-the-annoying-year-that-was-2011 http://www.thegraphicmac.com/rant-the-annoying-year-that-was-2011#comments Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:00:26 +0000 James http://www.thegraphicmac.com/?p=6890 Posted in Commentary

Social Like any other year, 2011 brought a lot of highs and lows in my tech life. Unlike any other year though, 2011 was filled with situations and trends that just wouldn't change to my liking. There were lots of great things happening in tech this year, too many to talk about here. But I have put together a list of things that managed to annoy me to no end. Related posts:
