Your response is precisely what I was referring to.

Your excuse is "Everybody else does it too".

And I DO call out everyone else on it, not just related to Foxconn and not in this post.

I just happen to think App£€ needs to be taken down a notch or 20.

I guarantee that App£e users will find any excuse in the book to defend their cult err "experience vendor".

Half of it are ads, the other half are "product placements".

Only Microsoft is evil.

There's only room for one evil empire.

Now back to your regularly scheduled propaganda.

So the answer is to buy more Intel cpu's. We wouldn't want them to die and that 3 time convicted monopolist AMD be left alone to dominate...

oh wait...

"I run Linux on my shiny new i7 cpu... stick it to Microsoft..."

wait again...

Support those who support compeition, not monopolists who destroy it.

Since this is Slashdot, shouldn't that be assFedoras?

Credit where credit is due.

Actually, quite the opposite.

Short term, a few people are crushed/killed but long term it's the only way to win in a system of "lesser evil/greater evil".

And copyright laws that are ENTIRELY in the favor of the artist/corporation and extending the length to near infinite levels means THEY are stealing from us, the public domain.

This is just taking back what they stole.

Thanks for playing the "copyright infringement is piracy because it sounds so much more evil".

Are they really independents or are they MPAA's "indie" studios? You know, to prevent legitimate competition and keep their stranglehold tight.

Sort of like how MS has proxies that they use to achieve their goals without showing that they're involved?

Any device that can play Bribe-Ray (guess how they won the format war), HAS to implement HDCP, thereby being infected with DRM.

Does Apple software support BR? If so, they have joined the esteemed ranks of Microsoft. Apple in Swahili means "vendor of artificial limitations".

Sony, MS, Apple (there are others, just being brief) : anti-consumer in their own respective ways.

And mirrors will become "Digital Circumvention Tools"...

How about software?

Should you be able to buy a disc with software on it and use it on any device, including those which the vendor does not approve?

Thank god that most of the world's users use WINDOWS addresses...
