Techrights Recommends An Apple Boycott

walterbyrd writes with a quote from an article at Techrights: "Given the latest actions from Apple we cannot help recommending that people buy nothing from Apple. Boycott the company for being a threat to the IT landscape and also to common sense." More from the article: "...Apple has been working hard to embargo — not just sue — the competition. Apple disregards the notion of fair competition..."

That's easy to do

I already don't own any Crapple products from the manufacturer, and the one Crapple product I do own is a eMac that I pulled out of a dumpster.(I hate it when technology is wasted, so I took it). However, I will never purchase any product from that company. So I guess I've been boycotting Apple for the last 15 years.

That's why an iPad looks like a scaled-down flatscreen TV ... And yes, Apple should have full rights to protect their greatest creative investment and one of the landmark inventions of the century: the rectangle with round squares! Next: the iWheel. It looks like an iPad. But it has no corners! Amazing!

Calling bullshit on that. It looks like the background decor, not the samsung stand, in a larger store. In one place, in sicily.

Not to mention, there are also three icons for McDonald and three icons for Google TV.

Thankfully, there are not too many fanboys of McDonald/Google TV on here, otherwise we'd be hearing conspiracy theories about how Samsung wants to go into the cheap silicon-based fast food business in Italy using the super popular Google TV logo.
