Well, I am already boycotting Amazon because they continue to sell dog fighting videos and magazines that promote the illegal, cruel sport. So what's one more boycott? It is not ok to sell that kind of stuff up front or out of their "back room" as much as it is not OK to sell snuff films. So I guess I agree that it is OK to boycott a company if you don't agree with their practices. (Not that I think that they give one rat's ass)

I just want to say here that not everyone who is pro technology and concerned about stuff for nerds is anti Greenpeace. I think it is essential to push big companies hard to improve their ways since the governments that we elect (or don't) seem to be powerless against their lobbies. I am always amazed when I meet people with libertarian leanings, who really want to get rid of governmental controls all together, but then are willing to let corporations (who are not accountable to anyone except for their profit minded share-holders) have a free ride. I would be happy to see less government if there was some other way to keep the corporations from making serious decisions that effect my health, my children's future and life as we know it. And, well, the governments we have now are barely effective as it is, so we need groups like greenpeace to keep pressure on them. No matter how much I love my linux box or my x-box, it does not trump the responsibility being aware of the damage they may be causing.IMHO.
