Listen, I am in full support of earth-friendly agendas and I think that Al Gore is doing (or attempting) something good with his time and money but this latest shit on Apple.com undid a few screws in my head. I never wanted to be the type of person that buys products based on a firm's politics but this garbage on apple.com really makes me question what the f**k I am doing supporting a company that so openly declares their political affiliation. I do not want this to be an argument about why i disagree with most liberal ideas (I said most because there are some liberal issues I support), I just felt the need to comment on Apple's recent homepage update. No legitimate, publicly-traded company in their right mind would post such a transparent message on behalf of a major figure like Mr. Gore without some type of financial arrangement. Remember, I said "in their right mind".....yea yea I know this is just a fucking rant but perhaps others out in cyberspace share the same sentiment.
Because the utility of the product is what drives me to my decision to purchase from a certain manufacturer, this will not likely stop me from supporting apple in the future; what WILL affect my future apple purchases (getting a little off topic) is their lack of a CONSISTENT quality control in China. I remember having the Original Macintosh and Macintosh II when I was young and first getting into computing and I CLEARLY can recall the EXCEPTIONAL build quality of the units. What is going on Apple??
