There are computers assembled in the US, like many Dells. But almost all components are sourced from non-US locations. I don't think Intel processors are US made.
As for malware on parts - could be a growing problem but compared to the everyday problems related to downloads it shouldn't be a worry.
Its called competition and is driven by consumers. ...
Then how does that explain Maytag closing down production in Newton, IA, and moving the production line south to Mexico? Or that my Skil worm drive saw, which was USA made, is now made in China? Those production shifts are not consumer decisions, but corporate ones. Afterall, why pay $12 an hour for US labor when you can pay $12 a day to have is made in another country? More profits, y'know.
And yes, I'm quite aware that it is a global market these days, as evident in the non-USA made stuff I have.
Yes, but the goal would be train low-skill workers for new value-added higher paying jobs. A 1:1 ratio will never come back in any industry. There used to be one legal secretary for every lawyer. Technology has changed. We now have word processing programs and voicemail so the ratio is down to sound one secretary for every five lawyers.
One can lament the loss of high-paying low-skill factory jobs, but they’re never coming back and there’s nothing we can do about it. However, technology allows us to work more efficiently and productively. If we leverage that efficiency we can pay higher wages and regain some of those jobs.
It takes a lot of mechanical and electrical engineers to maintain a million robots. Maybe not a million engineers, but enough to make a difference to any state economy. Apple just placed an order with Foxconn for 54 million iPhone 5s. I’m sure a state like Michigan would be thrilled to have some of those jobs.

The US corporations and government (education) have already thrown in the towel. The technology jobs exported never to return combined with the dismal education our children are receiving has guaranteed out place in the world economy, and it won't be in the top 10 within a generation.
And the basic skills (math, literacy, and the ability to apply) are not being taught...... the education system is broken. Well paying jobs that cannot be skilled because graduates don't have basic skills............. msnbc.com Video Player
Are there any companies out there that make EVERYTHING in America? I keep reading more and more about brand new cheap computer products that come from places like China that are being implanted with malware for spying purposes. If I'm working in grad school in the high tech field should I be worried about using tools that are clean, especially when the technology we're working on could go IP?
I hear Vision Computers advertised on the radio. They say it is American made, plus customer service is prompt.

Yes, ones tools should always be clean. Personally, I soak mine in a solution of salt water, Palmolive and a few drops of motor oil (for viscosity) nightly.
As far as going IP, only time will tell on that one. The Cloud is a game changing dymanic that will most likely leverage synergy dynamically over the whole infrastructure.

I think you just set a forum records for the most buzz words in a single sentence. What does it mean in American English?
