Watched it last night - was a great piece.

Takeaways:
1. THey are building a huge arse circular HQ's to house 13,000 employees
2. Their CEO is gay which I didn't know
3. They still have child labor issues
4. FOXCONN installed......get this......nets to catch the potential suicidal folks. Cool but creepy. I wonder if people are going to peek our their window to see if anyone jumped.
5. Apple continues to dominate
6. Oh.....and they have $200B overseas that they won't be bringing back anytime soon due to our outrageous taxes

Yep. They said China alone is 2/3 of their entire customer base. That's crazy. The story of them setting up subsidiaries in Ireland to avoid the international money being taxed was really interesting. I had no idea that was a thing.
