Apple Inc is rumored to have come up with a new manufacturing process for MacBooks. The news came via a very well informed blogger - Seth Weintraub of 9to5Mac. The new system was described by the blogger as “totally revolutionary, a game changer.” Apple apparently renounced at its policy to outsource the manufacturing process to Chinese and Taiwanese producers and took control of the process.
