Advertising on the side of the road – the brands change but the song remains the same

Being a member of AARP – it’s not what you think
Since I am old enough to be a card-carrying member of AARP I am also old enough to remember what the acronym stood for – American Association of Retired Persons. In 1999 AARP ‘officially’ changed its name to “AARP” – … Continue reading
China’s Foxconn and Apple – a match not quite made in heaven
Although I have visited a number of factories in China I’ve never had the opportunity to visit the giant Foxconn factories which are located in several different parts of China. Foxconn is actually a Taiwanese company as an affiliate of … Continue reading
