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..."

  1. Apple does not block choice. by SuperKendall · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    when that is precisely Apple's strategy

    You seem to have forgotten that Apple is only suing Samsung, not other tablet makers.

    You can always tell the haters by the way they distort reality in any way possible (or frankly impossible) to make Apple the worst in any given comparison.

    Apple is blocking choice for no-one. Haters like you have claimed that for some time now even though Apple was one of the big players heavily pushing HTML-5 and shipped the very first Intel macs with Bootcamp. Foes of choice indeed!

    Few companies have done as much for interoperability as Apple has done over the years. Apple is after all the company that broke the music industry of the DRM habit. Yet you would ignore that accomplishment and belittle them for things they have not done.

    and the reason the majority of "Haters" exist.

    Since Apple Haters have been around long before the Samsung lawsuit your expiation of origin leaves much to be desired.
