China ? No Way your pulling my leg.
Getting more than barganed for sometimes goes without saying. If you read the made in labels on almost every product on the planet you will more than likely see made in some Asian country. Due to cost of manufacture this is a norm. Ok so why the hacks and OS cracks ? Cost again as well as spying on other businesses is also profitable for some. Now if your nervous join the group but not much will help until we the consumer demand brain dead machines in all stores and let us buy the OS and either install it or have it done. Not a surefire way of getting a clean machine but it's a start. I get a kick out of all the products I see made overseas...what we get is what we get. Black markets will be around for as long as the world turns and have been around for longer than most people have been alive today. Sad but true.
