In many ways based on Cook's complete over-reaction today.
I'm guessing Tim Cook has no idea that the same law Indiana passed and signed is in place in 18 other dates. Further, Obama as a State Senator here in the People's Republic of Illinois VOTED YES on the exact same law here.
Then again, Bill Clinton signed the Federal version of the same law in 1993.
So here's the deal: If Tim Cook were actually serious, he's stop selling Apple products in the U.S. period.
Why? Because the 1993 Federal Religious Freedom Act prohibits "substantially burdening" individuals' exercise of religion unless it is for a "compelling Government interest" and in doing so is the least restrictive means possible.
If Tim Cook were serious in any way of fighting the law of the land, he'd stop selling Apple products in the U.S. To do anything less makes him a blow-hard windbag hypocrite.
As for me, my iPad 2 Mini just hit the junk pile and I'll be purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 tomorrow to go along with the Samsung Galaxy 5 I purchased back in October. Didn't like the iPhone vs. the Samsung Galaxy back then, and I'm really starting to hate looking at my iPad knowing I'm putting money into a company's products, when that company is working directly against my personal interests and religious convictions.
Tim Cook and Apple can kiss my ass.
My comments were not directed at you in any way.
Just not supporting a company that works against my interests, especially when that company has taken as public a stance as Cook has by spitting in the faces of many of Apple's customers.
I'll be interested to see who's on top of the SmartPhone/Phablet/Tablet space a year from now. Betting it WILL NOT BE Apple.
Companies that take on controversial public stances always end up losing big chunks of their customer base.
If I were an Apple Stock holder (I am not..) I'd be dumping my stock tomorrow.
