Oh great...

"Workers have 18 seconds to add components before the assembly line moves on..."

Let's hope Lenovo keeps offering the extened warranty at reasonable prices!

I know....I'm half-expecting to find a finger in my T61.

Wow, 18 seconds...and I'm sure that they get to stop the line periodically to use the rest room for example...oh wait, the WTO looks the other way on China, sorry...but hey, the price of laptops, consumer goods, etc is falling so I guess that justifies it...

Sorry to be sarcastic, but there are many facets to that story.

"What do you mean, downtime is $5000 a minute?"

Would anyone happen to know how much time the workers on the I.B.M. line had?
