Reading my emails as usual, I came across this article from IT Business Edge saying that he (Don Tennant) no longer wants his iPhone or any products made by Apple itself. After reading the article it made sad that he marked iPod Touch and iPhone users as lapdogs. The issue is 8 months old but it was pretty much insulting on my side as an Apple consumer and I had to speak for myself.

I know that human rights is a big deal but I think the blog went a bit overboard by saying harsh things to the consumer. Not all consumers know these things and informing the public on how Apple run things is more than enough. The blog though is easily indexed by search engines because of the keywords used as a lot of people are looking into this nifty piece of technology and wants to enjoy it’s benefits. From what I can see Don wanted to inform the public and get its sympathy and teach Apple a lesson by boycotting the company which is one in a million chances could happen but then again would take more than a simple blog entry that bashes its consumers rather than getting a on to their good side.  

“And it’s even more galling that the media and Apple enthusiasts buy into it like docile lap dogs, happily chasing the bones that Jobs throws out, and reverently licking up the crumbs under his theatrical table.”
