Soft token has been available for some time... not much new... good thing is that the token is not going to be in the same bag with the computer and one less thing on the key chain.

If you were owning up to shareholders for LG's bottom line, you'd do the exact same thing. Yea they might be taking cell phone jobs away but props to LG for keeping the factory open. I've actually toured this plant in Mexicali, it's state of the art. Smart business practice

How would moving the factory to the United States make them more financially efficient? The full article says that they can now make the phones at their existing plant in Brazil, where they make over 1 million phones a month, and bring them into Mexico now that the import tariff has been lifted. The only reason that the plant was opened in Mexico in the first place was because it presumably cost less to run a factory in Mexico to make phones for Mexican consumers than to make them in Brazil and import them into Mexico with the tariff. Not that I'm against paying people a living wage, but opening a plant in the U.S. would make zero sense in this situation.

LOL, yeah, I was laid off in January and still haven't found a new job yet I'm a rich imbecile. It doesn't take much to understand basic business and logic. Opening an additional unnecessary factory to circumvent a business problem that no longer exists sounds perfectly intelligent! 🙄

No it makes more sense to take the world and start from scratch.......no matter how much money people have save with labor through history it still came out a big f'ed up mess. So they still havent done anything right
