Given the political leanings of Apple's executives and directors, and the propensity of this adminstration to use government contracts to reward political allies and campaign contributors I'm sketical of attempts to portray it as nothing more than the technical superiority of the product. I'm not drinking that Kool Aid.
My understanding is that Apple is the only American computer company that does NOT make political contributions.
All the major computer companies lean a little to the left. What's your point? Just bashing Apple? Microsoft leans at least as far left, AND make contributions to leftist political causes. That make you feel better?
There's no conservatively-politically-acceptable choice, sorry to say.
All hyper-lefties as you might expect. But then, notice something unusual. He hasn't made one since 2004.
I doubt if it's because Rahm Emanuel forgot to ask.
OTHO Here's a list of Bill Gate's contributions. He goes about half and half giving to ultra-libs like Harry Reid & Pelosi, and conservatives like John Thune.
It seems he's trying to go the Orren Boyle route whereas Jobs is taking the Hank Rearden one.
And Gates doesn't seem to have a problem shoving money at International Planned Parenthood
Do you know what the MS in MSNBC stands for?
Pretty heave dose of kool aid there for you. As a matter of fat can you name one major old line corporation that does not donate to whomever is in power. Apple was a big supporter of Bill Clinton, they nearly went broke during that period.
Bill Gates is trying to give his billions along with his friends billions, to the UN. That idiot Ted Turner who was once considered too right wing to own one of the big three broadcasting companies, created CNN and became a loonie lefty, who wants to go duck hunting with Castro.
RE: Given the political leanings of Apple’s executives and directors..
As opposed to Microsoft which is a tool of every liberal agenda including UN population control. GMAFB!
