What American Apparel Can Teach Google About Making Products in America

Google and American Apparel have little in common, besides Google's recent move to make a product in America, something the hip clothing chain has done forever. In a move to make itself look more conscientious than Apple, Google has opted to manufacture its new streaming media device, the Nexus Q, here in the USA. Unlike American Apparel, whose products comes from a Los Angeles factory, for Google, this is an experiment. "We've been absent for so long, we decided, 'Why don't we try it and see what happens?'" Andy Rubin, who heads Android for Google, told The New York Times.
