Tim Cook Confirms Yokohama Facility in Japan Will Be Completed by December

Many countries are taking the position that you need a presence there to sell with preferred status. It would not surprise me if some of these deals are just that.

Very true. I have seen this with other companies. While Apple is calling these faculties "R&D", it would not surprise me if the majority of employees are QA and localized marketing.

How big is Apple in Japan anyway (a country that I find extremely interesting, to say the least)

Every time I open macrumors and there is an article with TC picture, for some reason I think it is going to be about him stepping down or being demoted. Can someone explain that to me?

I don't know, but maybe you hit your head or something?
