WIL WHEATON dot TUMBLR, NY TIMES: "Etched into the base of Google’s new wireless home media player that was introduced on Wednesday, is its most intriguing feature. On the underside there is a simple laser-etched inscription: 'Designed and Manufactured in the U.S.A.' The Google executives and engineers who decided to build the player, the Nexus Q, here are engaged in an experiment in American manufacturing. 'We’ve been absent for so long, we decided why don’t we try it and see what happens?' said Andy Rubin, the Google executive who leads the company’s Android mobile business."

Awesome.

I’m still not that interested in yet another Google product that’s going to suck up more information from me, but I love that it’s made in the USA. More things should be made in the USA. And, yes, I realize that means those things may cost a bit more, but I would think of that increased cost as an investment in the future of our country.

I hope this isn’t one of those things where the etching was done in the US, but the Nexus Q itself was built at Foxconn.
