"We should be boycotting this gay-run, gaystapo, extortionist company, not extolling its “virtues”."

Ironic that we have not heard calls to break up the Apple monopoly from the Elizabeth Warren's of the world.

If Apple had a monopoly ... LOL ...

Just because they make excellent products, and have excellent customer service, and have one of the highest ratings for customer satisfaction in the industry, and have a whole lot of people buying their products ... doesn’t mean they’re a monopoly ... :-) ...

That's because Apple has no monopoly to break up. They are a single company selling their products. They are not practicing monopolistic predatory pricing, or other non-competitive actions.

The single conviction for anti-competitive action in Judge Cote's Kangaroo Kourt on the e-books case where she found that Apple was guilty of using the entirely legal Agency model for selling e-books, looks as if it being laughed out of the Appeals process and being decided in Apple's behalf. . . as Judge Cote went into it announcing she had made up her mind before hearing any evidence that Apple was guilty, of being the "ring leader" in the price fixing of he e-books price fixing, despite not even being part of the e-book industry when the publishers did their conspiring or being at in any of the meetings of the publishers, or Apple having any market share at all. . . while the true monopolist, Amazon, with 90% of the market WAS fixing prices to its advantage!

Now that's irony for you.
