I'm certain many of Huawei's employees would enjoy a day-off fighting Climate Change.
That's besides the point, in reading the Vice article I somehow get the impression apparently Apple is "bad" for releasing a new piece of hardware on to the market and Amazon, Google, and Facebook are "good" companies as they are going on strike to combat climate change. Does this mean that the three companies will remain "good" and no longer release any new hardware products on to the market? 'Cus last time I checked, they all have new hardware in the pipeline that requires resources from the earth and I have a suspicion that in time, those upcoming products will end up in a landfill somewhere in the world.

Wait - I'm trying to uncover some kind of semblance of common sense out of an article in Vice.com, never mind... my bad.

Being the "geek" in the family, I, too, am frequently called upon to provide support for whatever is ailing the family/friend's computer. I stopped supporting these things long ago after being asked "What is the best computer I should buy?" I often took into consideration the endusers abilities (none what so ever) and their anticipated usage (surf the net, send email, play solitaire)and told them to buy a Macintosh. I usually heard "what the Hell are you talking about? There isnt any software available for Macs." They would then go out and purchase one of the two worse PCs available... Compaq or HP. Then, they would flounder about and call me. What's funny is I have NEVER seen them purchase any software and install it. In most cases they still use the same browser that shipped with the PC. I guess all that software that IS available for Windows really didnt matter. The only time I do provide advice or tech know-how is when they get some cool virus through Outlook. I love virii and how they have evolved. I just wish I could get some on my OS X box to play with :(
