I have a better option: I won't buy any more Apple products. I have owned at least 25 Apple computers since I bought my first 2c, and currently possess an iBook, a MacBook, and 2 MacBook Pros, plus several iPods, Time Capsule, etc., but that's the end of it. Business decisions are intrinsically political. I tried to overlook it when Jobs chose right wing, spy on American citizens, poor service as their iPhone provider, and vowed I would never buy one until they added a more progressive provider, so what do they do, they add the second most regressive phone company, Verizon, to the list. Now they get married to Rupert Murdoch of Faux News Bill O'Really and Glen cryboy Beck fame. Plus Jobs just made a large contribution to Rahm "*********g retards" Emmanuel notoriety, and Apple ranks last in worker safety among IT companies in China. http://www.ipe.org.cn/En/about/notice_de.aspx?id=9684
Come to think of it, why would Apple outsource all its manufacturing jobs to foreign countries? (Don't bother to explain, the answer is obvious, greed.) All buying decisions are political. My wife and I drive German cars because we don't buy Japanese products on account of the whale and dolphin slaughters, nor American cars because of outsourcing, and, until recently, shoddy workmanship. There is more to being an ethical citizen of the world than playing games on your iPads. Sorry, Apple, you just lost one of your better customers, but I'm sure you'll find a way to more than make it up with more regressive business alliances, and hordes of obliging customers who don't give a rat's posterior about the ethical implications of their consumerism.

Awesome post and well done to you sir!
Needless to say that I agree fully with everything that you've said...
As for people saying don't talk politics in forums - I am sure we wouldn't if editorial of this site didn't provoke it by posting such articles!
"Here is yet another R.M. propaganda filth for your beloved iPad" - and we are suppose to say - "great! lovely!"
I don't think so...
18 Positives and 83 Negatives...
Wat? Over a freakin' newspaper? I fail to see the negative here.

Funny from a guy who's own rant is made sans facts and is bubbling over with rage and "hate".
BWahahahahaaaaaa! Thank for the laugh man! I like how you just slid Fox News in there right beside The Wall Street Journal as outstanding sources for news. You were kidding, right? Please tell me you were kidding???
So, tell me what company are you going to buy your computers from? Unless of course you believe only Apple outsources their production, gives money to politicians, etc.
Do you actually work for Apple in Cupertino or do you just like to pretend you do? Guessing from your other posts, I'm pretty confident it's the later and you're more than a little deluded.
Dude...really?
Oh my God...how f'in hypocritical. Company profits = greed....I guess you think the wonderful companies you buy stuff from are only in it to "break even" or give all of their profits to their fellow man....right. give me a break an go back to your pointy headed liberal professors who spew this garbage.
And as for all those bashing Fox, O'Reilly et. al. you're just pissed that there is an outlet who don't believe the incredibly, spoken in their own words, liberal bias in the media. After all, for years the only "News" was from such bastions of objectivity as The New York Slimes, the Clinton News Network, PMSNBC, the LA Slimes, NPR, the BBC, the Washington Post, ABC, CBS, Time and a plethora of Soros backed radical orgs spewing crapola.....face it your "owning" of the dialog is over. As should be in a free country, we now hear all voices. Unlike some intellectually dishonest liberals, I don't cry and whine over what Maddow and Huffington say, I am proud that we live in a place that allows them to say it, and good for them to have a following.

Because Murdoch has so much access to the government. RIIGGHTT!!
NBC and it's GE affiliates have a lot of access, and MSNBC proves it.
Fox tells it how it is without the worry about pissing off Obama and the rest of government.

Sorry but it's the republicans that have the money, so Apple is doing the smart thing. Now that more businesses use Apple computers, Apple is smart about appeasing the Republicans. The liberals and others who feel that Apple is abandoning them, you can always use Linux! Let's be honest, Linux would fit with the liberal agenda more than a corporate entity like Apple who is making a ton of profit.
A lot of hating here. I can't help but think of a line in Star Wars. "You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. Blah Blah Blah..."
I've asked this same question before and got no response. I saw Cue 2 times my entire Apple career on campus (actually saw Steve more than I expected though I was told to just act like he wasn't there.) Cafe Macs Pizza is the best btw

1. Apple has few if any factory workers in China. They use Foxconn, among others, and it they who determine the working conditions. You are blaming the wrong people; take your remonstrations to Taiwan.
2. The relationship between News Corp and Apple is not new. About the only event / interview that Steve Jobs does, at least for the last five years, is with News Corp employee Walt Mossberg. He also quotes the same News Corp employee in several of his keynotes.
WIth that said, you are correct that buying decisions are based on political opinion.Personally, I will NOT buy a union made vehicle. I still wonder who are are going to go with? Dell? HP?
Orange™;11799840 said:Faux News is a cancer on America, just look at what happened to Giffords!
Yeah because Fox News shot Glifford.
Get real. Hyperbole.
The Unions single handedly destroyed American manufacturing. Case in Point, the Rust Belt.
Faux News is a cancer on America, just look at what happened to Giffords!
Just because you hate Fox doesn't mean this shouldn't get reported. I dislike fox too but the point in the article is clearly to highlight the new era news distribution that is about to begin. I personally am excited for this and really hope other news organizations embrace the new content distribution methods that are being presented.
