Dell Must Be a Bunch of Maroons -- Don't They Know China is a Waste of Time?

Dell and Baidu team on smartphones, tablets in China - latimes.com

Doesn't Dell know they are all swimming in their own poverty and filth over there?

Largest consumer electronics market in the world??? Pshaw!

900 million cell phone subscribers??? Bullshit!

uber lol @ 900 million people with cell phone service meaning anything.

I saw that today. An interesting move.

Who knows? People (like Mikey Dell) thought that Apple was down for the count a decade ago. Maybe this will work out for them?

ps in 2004, cellphones made up 74.6% of all African phone subscriptions. 2004.

As of last year, 50% of Nigerians had cell service.

Gorgeous country, and a booming middle class to boot!

I just think it's incredibly deceptive of the Chinese government to trick us by buying all those consumer electronics. Those little fuckers will stop at nothing to be deceptive.

I wonder if they are stashing the stuff in those $100B worth of domestic commercial jets they've bought.

We can't trust those guys.

I googled an image for "backtracking" but nothing worthy came up.

Speaking of which, I've never been to Nigeria...how could I possibly know the percentage of the population that have cell service there?

I think Dell, Apple and GE just need to have lunch with the right monkey-boy stock picker to set them straight on all these foolish investments in the Chinese market.

Maybe you should be outside their offices eating their candy instead.

LOL @ not understanding percentages versus sheer size.

I hear Monico has $190k/year in per capita income. GE should have invested in a locally-produced, locally-sold jet factory there instead.
