In China, Apple primarily prototypes and assembles its electronics inside walled cities. Those entering or exiting are searched and have to go through fingerprint scanners.


I wonder why the apple polishers don't brag about THAT.

That's one of the reasons I've always be suspect of claims that MS "steals" interface ideas from Apple. Yeah, Apple may have had an interface on the market before MS, but MS will often show Alpha versions of their OS a year or two before it goes to Beta.

As far as seeing real live evidence of a working interface, MS usually does it first.
