So this isn't really cyborg-related, but it's super awesome. There are
some epic robots in those factories, including a super sweet many-headed
pick and place, a solid gold wire bonding machine, and tons of more
traditional industrial movement machines like carts-on-tracks, etc. The
funny thing is to think that at the end, customers pay like $10 for a
memory card. Clearly they must sell *enormous* quantities of those
things in order to afford the capital cost of those factories...
capitalism is a stunning thing.
