...China emerges as an international power [Jan. 22], the West must be wary of a brain drain. In order to be a manufacturing giant, the Chinese must get all the know-how as well.

If I bought all the stuff that Apple makes for the iPod, I would be broke. I guess Jobs is a genius-a marketing genius. Jeff Simon New Haven, Connecticut...
