I think you're making meaningless semantic distinctions that have no bearing on the argument at all. You seem to be fabricating tautologies just to say you're right. You're saying companies are not good or bad because you're choosing to narrowly define 'company', 'are' and 'good or bad' in a very specific and topically irrelevant way that makes it so.

Fine. You're right. You've convinced me. I concede.

Now, to everyone else:
If Apple does in fact do more of this evil stuff, do you think we have a chance of making them do good again? Because it's certain that their most loyal customers will not mind it at all. Will the only option be to take business to competitors and hope they can produce stuff equally as cool. Because, I have to admit, despite the high price, closed ecosystem which they seem to be wanting to close even tighter, and other bits of evil, stuff like the iPod touch and iPad is REALLY cool and has very little real competition.
