Considering the quality of Sony's products these days, I don't see how a boycott is necessary. They simply won't be in business 10 years from now with their current management.
If you want respect and loyality from the worker...
Who's talking about respect and loyalty? We're talking about people who made poor decisions on an ongoing basis, then blamed it all on their bosses for stressing them out.
Why are you defending these people?
What if it was somebody at your bank that gambled all your money away in Vegas, then blamed it on the CEO of the bank? Or if the valet went on a joyride in your car because he didn't like his job? Aside from the fact that you are the one negatively impacted in these examples instead of someone else, how are they different than an IT guy running a porn server, or refusing to surrender control of company machines?

Soylent heat is people!
Not to mention visually impaired users.
Or me, when I can't find my glasses.
Congratulations, by not doing popular things, you're a better person than everyone else!
My "hello.jpg" Facebook photo would make a great ad.
...is a pirated copy of Windows 7 they bought in a Shanghai alley.
I hope you're not looking to work in marketing.
Nobody's talking about "free," but renewable energy is the closest we're likely to ever get.
Solvents and oils can be derived from natural plant sources, and often are.
You can do solar with a steam-driven turbine. I'm not sure what the efficiency is compared to a semiconductor approach though.
Wind power doesn't require any semiconductors.
Wind and solar are renewable and don't generate toxic waste, so there's that.
It would be more Microsoft-y if you replaced printf with MessageBox.
I think they should keep Ballmer for the entertainment value.
That's hardly a backup. What if you miss a payment on the hosting bill because you're in the hospital or something? Your files = gone for good.
Why not create your own incomprehensible CS paper?

...I can always render the latest HTML in Netscape Navigator. Right?
As if copying a failed business wasn't bad enough, using a pun-based product name isn't a good place to start.

...like a hot air balloon.
Seriously, that was the best thing in this thread so far.
