I dunno why, but I've been interested with world economy lately; reading about the recession, spending hours in businessweek.com, comparing India's and the Philippines' BPO standing, and monitoring how China is owning everyone's lives after wrestling those Japanese to becoming the world's number 2 economy.
Speaking of which, I was browsing Macintude, (I have been touring around Mac sites lately as a preparation to switching to it next year, hopefully), when this article came across me and brought instantaneous surprise:
First “Made in Brazil” iPhones apparently being released into the wild
The first iPhones to be assembled in Brazil are apparently being released into the wild, carry a distinct “industria brasileira” instead of the regular “Assembled in China”.
MacMagazine, a Brazilian site, shared images of a white, 8GB iPhone 4 model that carries both the aforementioned message in Portuguese, as well as a model number that carries “BR” at the end of it, indicating that’s it’s likely to have been produced in a Brazilian factory, instead of a Chinese one.
iPhones to date have carried a message similar to “Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China.”, which appears on our iPhone 4S model purchased in the UK.

Who would've imagined China vs Brazil could happen in trade? Basically, the article brought me visions of the good old days, where two of my favorite Street Fighters were fighting for their countries: Chun Li and Blanca.
