“Google is Google and why anyone at FR uses anything related to those Commie loving bastards is beyond me.”
Can say the same thing about Apple. They’re OK, right?
Apple is as bad or worse about privacy. Yet many on FR have no problem with their love of liberalism\socialism.
Hmmm....
My grocery store refuses to sell guns and ammunition.
Blatantly refuses!
They will only advertise\sell certain products and exclude all others. It is their policy to only sell products they wish to, no matter how the community feels.
I no longer support their freedom to run their business how they wish. They must offer all products I’m interested in or they must be destroyed.
Will you join me in boycotting all grocery stores with an anti-gun selling policy?
LOL.
I noticed the other that the ads my dentist puts in the paper make no mention of auto mechanics services. I should be able to get my car serviced while I'm having my teeth worked on. Yet that bassturd dentist refuses to install a lift-bay next to the room with the dentist chair! It's an outrage!!
I hold a great hope that now that we have the precedent set with ObamaCare, the federal government can force my dentist to do this. I've got it! They can fine (oops, "tax") every dentist who DOESN'T put in a lift-bay. That sounds constitutional, right?
Just as a minor point of fact, Microsoft is just as bad as Apple about supporting liberal causes (some years, worse), and their track record on how they actually run their business is certainly no better. They're both entitled to do so, of course, but it's something we all love to complain about...
But with MS's new restrictive (some say draconian) changes with Windows 8, reversing decades of relative openness with regard to how their partners implement their platforms, they've not only taken a few pages from Apple's closed-system book, they've surpassed them.
And the vast majority of FReepers use Windows.... just sayin'... :)
BTW, I'm a Unix-head, but I use both Windows and Apple machines daily at work and home. I don't have a dog in that fight.
