Sorry, Apple, and Apple fans, but that's how it goes.

24. You are operating on bad information.

Your ideas about how much it costs to make things here and how wonderful nokia is and how Macs work are just naive and poorly informed.

Go ahead an let yourself be distracted with the same old Apple hate. It takes the pressure off of everyone else. If you aren't an Apple customer, why should they give a damn about your opinion. What truly green and socially conscious company will you purchase your PC from? HP? Sony? Or maybe the wonderfully enlightened stuff from Michael Dull.

You are kidding yourself and falling for the propaganda put out by Apple's competitors. They use the same practices as Apple but get you to fuss about their competitor as they rake in your cash. Stop using tech until they do better. That would actually do something. A decent congress that would pass the laws that would not let products made this way would be better. Hitting on Apple is just a cheap way to pretend that you are doing something.

And by the way. Nokia is a Finnish company. They do have factories in Finland. But they manufacture most of their products in China. They used to have several US locations, but began shutting them down some year ago. Our area lost 3,000 jobs when they pulled out. Word was that the workers there were thinking of a union effort. Nokia dropped them in six months.

Go ahead and limit your productivity and select a wannabe product. But don't kid yourself that it is a move that will help anyone but the companies that fooled you.
