Apple gets paid for products faster than it has to pay for manufacturing 5

Here's yet another sign of what a great position Apple has put itself in in terms of manufacturing: According to the Wall Street Journal [paywall], the company gets paid by its customers much faster than it is required to pay its suppliers. The difference between the inflow of sales and the outflow of manufacturing capital means that Apple's capital investment is actually negative — a sort of fiscal antigravity. Apple is getting paid by customers after 18 days on average, but it has leveraged into a position where it has up to 83 days to pay its suppliers. That's phenomenal, and it's a result of quite a few different initiatives by the company in the past. First, not only are Apple's products built around high profit and high demand, but Apple has made various company acquisitions and locked down powerful supply deals. This also means that the companies that Apple has teamed up with end up taking on more of the risk than usual, leaving Apple in a very agile and flexible position….

Apple Looking To Open An R&D; Center In Beijing 1

Even though Apple’s headquartered in Cupertino, they’ve got operations all across the globe, and we don’t mean just retail stores. There have been rumors that Apple is opening up an R&D center in Israel, but according to a new rumor, that’s not the only place they’re considering. Tim Cook recently talked to the mayor of Beijing, Wang Ashun, about the possibility of Apple opening an R&D center in Beijing. A story from Tencent Tech claimed the following: Cook also noted that Apple will move a certain amount of its servers for App Store and iTunes to China in order to improve the downloading speed for users in China. IT sector insider sources remarked that Apple may establish its data center in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province or Inner Mongolia. Apple has said that China could become its number one customer in the near future, so an R&D center in the country would make a lot of sense. Plus, with all those extra iCloud users, Apple’s going to need some extra data centers. Why…

Apple To Make Mac Mini, Not New Mac Pro, In U.S. Next Year [Rumor]

When Tim Cook said that Apple would start manufacturing part of its Mac lineup stateside in 2013, many speculated that the Mac Pro would be the most likely candidate. We postulated that the upcoming Mac Pro would make the perfect choice because it is easier to build and doesn’t sell as well as the other Macs. Apple would be able to test a desktop production line in the U.S. with a niche Mac that won’t create huge consumer demand. According to a new rumor, it will not be the Mac Pro, but instead the Mac mini that gets manufactured in the U.S. next year. The claim comes from the not-always-reliable Digitimes, which is enough to make this one an eyebrow-raiser. Digitimes has gotten a lot wrong in the past, but it has also correctly predicted Apple’s future plans, especially when it comes to display technology. The Taiwanese publication definitely has sources deep within the supply chain; it just doesn’t always know how to frame stuff correctly. Apple is reportedly set to move its Mac…

Multi-Touch Keyboard and Mouse by Jason Giddings 2

These Multi-Touch keyboard and mouse is a concept design by Jason Giddings, an aerospace engineer and inventor. These devices made of tempered glass that attached to a solid metal base. The keyboard and mouse have no moving parts and are wireless. They can be charged using Lithium Polymer batteries when they connected to the power supply. The available software for these peripheral devices is open source and that makes them more special. By developing the software the user can use the mouse to zoom like an iPad or convert the keyboard from standard edition to CAD design edition simply by toggling the number pad off and have more space for work. The concept uses Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (or FTIR) and infrared LEDs positioned at the edge of the glass. The design is simple but so creative! The LEDs are hidden in the gaps where the glass is mounted to the base. By touching the glass due to reflection, the IR light will diffuse downward and the camera under the device will…
