You make-ey my iPhrone, chop-chop!

Apple may be big geniuses when it comes to computer design, but when it comes to managing their slave-wage supply chain... eh, not so much.

It's tempting to get upset about things like labor strikes and terrible working conditions for poor people in developing countries, but let's keep things in their proper perspective: the important thing is that I get my pre-ordered iPhone 5 before you do.  Hands off!  

Now get back to work, you lazy Chinamen, my iPhone isn't going to assemble itself!  Chop-chop!   

(Sheesh, if the Chinese keep up their bitching and whining we may just have to outsource their jobs to America, where it's every desperate man for himself and workers shut up and do what they're told.  It's so hard to find good help these days.)
