The Secret Truth About Who Makes Laptops Here's an update, late 2009 (thanks, Jon, for this item): It is about Apple computers. All of their hardware is totally made by ODPs. As they have different product lines, the Powerbooks, Iphones, etc are made by Communist Chinese ODPs and NOT at all in the U.S. They are no different than the low quality Dells, HPs, etc. Apple is absolutely paranoid with keeping the truth about their company staying within Apple. However, the truth is that Apple uses Communist Chinese ODPs for their Power Macs, absolutely nothing is manufactured in California or anywhere else in the U.S. With the Ipods and Iphones, they were the largest user of Communist Chinese ODP's on record, but that was from 2006 and I am not aware if that is still true today. They are cheap, low quality trash, just like the other vendors and have a horrific record of failure, as they fight like heck to keep quiet. To bet it better than I can, this is from a post on a Apple forum from a long time Apple user: Jon

New gTLDs - Generic top level domains - Domain name extensions - Namesco In 2011, ICANN "the body responsible for managing and coordinating the Internet's Domain Name System", approved the plan to implement one of the biggest changes the Internet has ever seen, allowing businesses and organisations from around the world to apply for their own domain name extension. The familiar extensions such as .com .net .org and .info, will now compete for domain name registrations with over 1,000 new domain name endings including geographical suffixes, generic words, financial terms and for the first time ever, brands can have their own exclusive domain name extension. The release of over 1,000 new domain name extensions will change the Internet landscape forever. Now you will be able to create more awareness and interest in your business or brand by registering domain extensions that specifically describe your business sector or location, such as .london, .wales, .shop, .fashion or .wedding.

ORIGIN PC brings you truly custom professional desktops with the GENESIS, MILLENNIUM, and EON systems. Testimonial “I was in the market for a high end PC to use for both gaming and photo/video editing. After years of purchasing top of the line computers from Dell I was always left frustrated by having my technical support calls sent overseas. When you spend top dollar you expect excellent support and that was not my experience prior to becoming an Origin customer. I learned about Origin from an article in a computer magazine and did my due diligence on the company. - Barton Young, President & CEO of Barton Young & Associates Inc. Jobs at Solutions inc.
