It's all said in the video - or the videos description at youtube. For all those who where always wondering who is assembling their cubes:

Does someone know how I can fix the typo in the thread title?
@MrIndianTeen: Why the post of the video when I already posted it?
Does someone know how I can fix the typo in the thread title? Double clicking in the line on the video-thread doesn't do anything.

@Stefan: Merci bis dortnaus!
@yockee: You chould check my reply to your comment at the video as soon as possible! It is not "a bunch of kids". But yes, they are non cubers as almost everywhere where cubes are sold and assembled, starting from a certain extent of sales. Also, even if the cubes were assembled in the factory, neither there would everyone be a cuber. So it doesn't matter in the first place. Just order DIY-Kits instead.
Also, it's people at lightake assembling them, and they aren't cubers. I always thought it was the people at the factory assembling them!!!
I know, we talked about all this several times before. I just have a problem with "children work" when it's not. Regarding a core with threads: you couldn't pay for them any more. Regarding a core, with metal lined holes: You mean thread bushings. Possible, but still more expansive. An practible solution would be different materials for cores and different screws/threads. That's all which is possible as long as it should be affordable.I always do order DIY kits when available. It sucks when the cube doesn't come as one, like type F's. I wish my Alpha CC was a DIY kit. I got the crooked screw curse again, and the core looks different than other Alpha cores. I don't know how interchangable it would be. Plus, I screwed up the only other Alpha core I had last night, when I tried screwing some pieces into it to check something, and screwed a couple of them in a little crooked. It's so hard to get them to screw in perfectly straight. It really is very noticable when screws are crooked even the slightest, and you wouldn't think it would be. I hate it. I wish they would just mold the cores with already threaded holes, so the screws would just screw in straight. Or maybe even line the inside of the holes with threaded metal, so there's no chance of the screw going crooked into the plastic.
1. How do you know they aren't cubers?
2. Why does it matter if they're cubers or not?
3. What difference would it make if they are employed by Lightake or Dayan?
Thanks for the pics, quite interesting... also I'm going to have to practice my pronunciation of ZhanChi

Nah, to be honest I didn't figure that out - and I actually don't think it is funny in this context since I knew it would lead to such comments:I was only joking about the sweat shop remark, I thought you'd figure that out.... but they do look like kids in the picture! Or very small people.
Furthermore people actually catched your comment and started discussing possible child work at lightake in other forums. So, I suggest removing it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.I hope there's no human trafficking involved or I'll be pissed.
