Apple, keep the politics out of business
It’s really hard when I’m seriously contemplating making the switch to Apple to see that they have dedicated their homepage today to congratulating Al Gore on his recent Nobel prize. Yes, he is on their board - but still, 70% of the homepage is about him instead of their products.Regardless of your political persuasion I think mixing business and politics is a bad idea. Here is the quote they have on their homepage next to a large picture of the ex-vice president:
Al has put his heart and soul, and much of his life during the past several years, into alerting and educating us all on the climate crisis. We are bursting with pride for Al and this historic recognition of his global contributions.
Check out gthing for a totally unrelated article on why apple is ruining everything. Gthing also has an article about the ozone layer and environment worth reading. Keep in mind that gthing is actually one of those mac users…I might try a mac, but I will never be a fanboy. My decision to get a mac is will be a vote against microsoft, not a vote for apple
