Apple's Security Compromises in China Outlined in New Report

Sure there is, because you DON'T boycott. You purchase one of the most evil companies devices. Using slave labor and coddling the Chinese government. Again, you are hypocritical.

Now I get it, you hate Apple. Why didn't you say that in the first place?
Look, I don't like the way they do business either, but I won't suffer with Windows for it. I actually tried a couple of years ago after my previous Mini crapped out but I just couldn't take it.
Until Apple pisses me off beyond repair I'm still going to use their OS.

They drove me to dislike them. From my iPhone having constant software and connectivity issues, to scabbing me my paid aperture subscription. However, my dislike of apple has nothing to do with your hypocracy.

All this bashing coming from one country that started most modern wars in post WWII history....funny

China is a good example how one nation managed to make everyone their little b … in such a short time. Ignorance is a bliss when you still make a lot of money I guess. It’s quite similar how other countries looked the other way with Nazi Germany and those initial „rumors“ of concentration camps back in the day, because making money was more important (until they tried to start a war on you). There should be a paper on that. Would be quite interesting to know how nazi Germany would have been handled if they had not started a war at everyone and kept to themselves. This is not bashing Apple, just telling about our society as a whole

Know-it-alls like you are the reason why the world is filled with conflicts. No basic respect to people of different culture.

Nope I think that would be Religion and corrupt governments

No, I just tell the truth. ha ha. Don't say you are against something then support that same something that is all.

Things are more nuanced than that. But YMMV.

that's your opinion. He's "boycotting" China for the exact same reasons that apple and china are in bed together. No more nuanced than that. If you want to boycott something, grow a pair and boycott it, or get off the soap box and stay quiet.

Correct. In my opinion. I have no problem with anybody's opinion, or anybody doing what they feel is best. I don't agree it's all or nothing, and I don't have to get off "the MR soapbox." But YMMV.

 

[Steve Adams]

I wasn't saying you. I was saying him. Get off the China is bad soap box if he's going to use apple devices. Simple.

I’d say inability to progress and learn from history is a much bigger issue than people raising criticism.
