Oh, please.
What are you trying to insinuate? That the near universal disgust about this on FR is some sort of double standard because Microsoft did something retarded back in 2005? Did you think if the subject came up that whole TEN YEARS AGO, that you would get some universal praise?
Who cares! This isn’t 2005, This is 2015, and maybe these Apple guys could have saved themselves the pathetic display we have been witnessing by not trying to go on tangents, change the subject, or think that stupid names like “apple hater” as a response to a subject they desperately want to go away.
” Did you think if the subject came up that whole TEN YEARS AGO, that you would get some universal praise?
“
What a ridiculous comment! I only pointed out that Microsoft took the same position 10 years ago.
Did I expect “universal praise”?
That’s just a plain dumb comment!
Where was the approbation back then? Where were the calls to boycott Microsoft products? Where were the people wanting to assail the ramparts with their pitchforks and scythes wanting to lynch Steve Balmer? Where were all the cries for people to get rid of their Micorsoft products off their computers?
CRICKETS!
Can you spell huge double-standard?
I thought not.
Apple is actually late to this party. . . having been neutral in most political activities, contrary to the rumors. Steve Jobs kept Apple out of politics and cultural skirmishes. Jobs was far wiser than Tim Cook.
