I find it hard to believe that it costs $29 to produce, but if he does have strong ties to apple then it could be plausible

Yes, what is his name, and what school? Inquiring minds want to know.

for privacy issues I will not state the name and school. sorry

tahts f@cking bs, if he is their head marketing guy its public knowledge. I call BS on this thread

a simple search of google brings up: Fred Hoar at Santa Clara University. May or may not be the right guy but this stuff is public info.

Labor costs, depending on where it is made, would probably be about $0.10c an hour MAX. No health care or any other benefits, just be lucky you have a job type thing. As for buildings, rent, etc, I bet those countries let Apple have it all for FREE just to have the business in their country to boost their economy.

Even in the US, companies will chose where they put factories, warehouses, etc based on the tax breaks they get. Ive heard of businesses getting deals where they pay NO taxes for 20 years just to have it in a certain area.

Sorry, nope. Standard is $40 per hour per employee after everything has been factored in.

Of course, you could always continue with your anti-capitalist BS and choose to ignore someone who is actually _in_ Finance.
