Though he didn't mention which line of computers would be made in the U.S., rumors said Apple would begin manufacturing of the Mac mini there, bringing some 200 jobs to the country.

From President Obama's yearly State of the Union speech:
Tim Cook attended the State of the Union, sitting in the First Lady's box -- a frequent location for guests who are mentioned in the President's speech. He sat behind and to the side of the First Lady, just behind the Second Lady, Dr. Jill Biden.

Very nice! I hope it comes to fruition soon.

What a nice pic of Tim... Except for the whole Fox News thing...

thespazz · Feb 12, 2013, 08:40 PM

Oh man, what a terrible picture of Cook.

Let the Fox News bashing begin.

A Hebrew · Feb 12, 2013, 08:42 PM

Tim's reaction: "Ah crap did I actually agree to do that!?"

I've been coming to this site for years and feel slighted that this picture sports the fox "news" logo.

I'm glad he's happy. He's done nothing but ****** me for the last 6 months.

The woman on the right looks so excited to be sitting next to Tim Cook.

Gix1k · Feb 12, 2013, 08:48 PM

MACs made in US....Better start getting the extended warranty.

FuNGi · Feb 12, 2013, 08:48 PM

I find the most fascinating part of this story to be the precise details of where Tim is sitting.

mac jones · Feb 12, 2013, 08:48 PM

I wasn't invited to the State of the Union, but I have a hundered posts.

Was thinking the same thing. Horrible.

Obama had Tim Cook there because he needs Siri to help the community agitator find those not paying their fair share...

Siri: "I have found thousands of thousands of people not paying their fair share, 535 are right in front of you, dumba$$!"

Meant to put that link in there, thanks for reminding me to add it!

I feel as if Obama is giving a little too much credit to Apple but hey they can at least say they're bringing something back to the US.

On the other hand, I bet Fox News is going to have a field day with this.

The SOTU newsfeed is a pool feed. Olsen just likes to watch Faux news.

With that. I'm guessing the Mac Pro will be built about 25 miles from my home.

I'm encouraged by Apple's growth and expansion of facilities in the US.
