Is it not good to aspire to be righteous?
Being self-righteous isn't a virtue, especially when one is inconsistent and hypocritical. My point is that if you are going to judge Apple by such extreme standards, then you must do so with other companies that you buy from, including commodities like petro, food, clothing, etc.
You will hardly find any major corporation without some seedy background.
Of course, I agree that one has to draw the line somewhere. I wouldn't buy products from a company that is heavily involved in arms dealings, for example, but to ban Apple because of a (fairly commonplace) patent lawsuit? Talk about melodramatic and naive.
