Wow... after I was about ready to write Google off after their recent censoring of shopping results of anything related to firearms, they go and do something I thought impossible... The new Nexus Q is a streaming media player. I.E. Small self contained computer that plugs into your TV to stream media from the internet to your TV. And... it turns out it has a cryptic message inscribed on it, one that I haven't seen on any electronics item in many years, decades even:

“Designed and Manufactured in the U.S.A.”

I gotta give 'em credit for doing this, at least trying!
