They have to give up USRobotics!

No way in hell can they have that brand - The Rise of the Machines demands it! My dream of a robot in every home demands it!

One of Us!

One of Us!

One of Us!

Serious about forcing them to give up the USR brand though... simply UnAmerican.

Its been in the media before.

The Chinese did it to Lucent and others.

When you have manufacturing in China and the People Liberation Army wants access to a technology you have they take it. Complain and the Peoples Republic throws you out of the country. So it follows by extension if the PLA or the PRC want to put a technology into your product and you say anything you lose millions on billions depending on who you are when they throw you out. In the US it is the top 10% wealthiest that make more money by moving production for their companies to China. It is their treason that will sell the US to China.

Why?

Why is that that you here all this talk about "National security" when Chinese companies want to buy specific U.S. companies (such as the PC business from IBM, purchased by Lenovo, or this 3Com deal), and yet these same people have no problem with the Chinese building virtually all of the motherboards used in every PC?

I don't know about you, but the vast majority of my electronic bits are stamped "MADE IN TAIWAN" and are indeed ODM'd by companies in Taiwan. The notable exception being my laptop, which was ODM'd by Compal, in China, using components manufactured in Taiwan and Korea, and assembled in China.
