I tend to agree that philosophically Apple is not my sort of company. When I was younger I felt much more strongly about that.
OTOH the new iPad is simply the best tablet on the market
for what I want to do. It may not be the best for others, but it is for me.
So I bought it. I'm not buying the company, I'm buying the device.

Is this the same tendency that makes people knock on my door and want to tell me about Jesus? I'm sure he's a really nice guy (even if he can't hit a curveball), but I'm happy with my lack of diety, thank you very much; you can keep yours.

I'd gone at least 10 years without any God salesmen calling, then had Jevohah's Witnesses and Mormons in the same day! I guess they didn't think the no-cold-calling signs applied to what they were selling.
