Inclined to apologize for Apple's Behavior
Authored by: tiger99 on Monday, August 27 2012 @ 03:23 PM EDT
I have only just noticed that I have a Samsung product, although I do not actually own it, as it is leased. It is the Virgin Media V-Box, a cable TV box with hard drive, and runs Linux. Source code is readily available.

If I need something else, within their product range, Samsung will now be top of my list. Sony was blacklisted a while back, after the rootkit episode. No M$ or Apple either.

If enough people know and care about corporate bad behaviour, we can make a small but still significant difference just by avoiding purchasing anything from the bad guys.

Apple and Microsoft are both off my shopping list

And Samsung is now at the top of my list for electronics.
Sorry Sony! You're still at the bottom, close to falling off
the edge.
