Yep, i don't like any of those companies either, and do not partake of their goods if I can help it. But whats so particularly insidious about Apple, is the incredible brainwashing they've performed on the American population, to such an extent that there was almost a national outpouring of grief at Steve Job's death, as though he were some kind of saint or something. Newspapers lauded his many achievements. Listening to the fans you'd think that he'd reinvented the wheel, was the most influential man ever in the history of music, the greatest inventor since edison... ect. ect. Oh and their products are so green! You can buy as many as you like and your actually doing the environment a favor! The advertising and brainwashing is relentless... and now whats horrible is that this has set a precedent for the Pepsis and Nestles of the world to follow suit! They'll be at it now, and we'll be hearing about the CEO of Mcdonalds actually saved third world countries from starvation!
For God's sake!! Its madness.
Apple and its fans are like a spam network.
