like to know their phone could be manufactured in the US, but it doesn't happen. I'm not sure how you boycott technology? We all know its about a bigger profit for the top guys. If produced and manufactured in the US, it would still make them money (actually if could possibly make them more money because people with jobs and stable incomes can afford the technology innovations that R&D dream up)... If its a "global" company, then the "global company" mega corporation, then the company should be required to actually manufacture the item in the country that they sell to... Not sure how practical that is, but seeing the billions they bank each year, they could at least provide a % of jobs to the populations in countries around the world that they are selling to.
