Yes, whereas Microsoft are the Nazis (who rule through brute force) and take over and shut down all their competitors, Apple are the Fascists (who rule through brainwashing and nationalism) who have
branded most of the world. Again, I do indeed have an iPod which I bought years ago and have been using it for several hours daily, but alas, I have many regrets.

This is true, but companies like FoxConn or only a facet of Apples exploitation. In the US they make both the most profits per square foot of retail space and the most per employee, while paying below average wages for the high-tech retail field and further very expensive equipment for ZERO commission! They are literally rolling on how they've branded an entire generation of work force to like the "feel" and "vibe" and "brand" of working at the Apple Store while meantime forgetting that they aren't making a fraction of the money they could be selling the same Apple products for commission and higher wagers at another tech retailer. Further, the computer companies and other cell phone manufacturers are indeed using the same kinds of practices, but they aren't making those oil company kind of gross volume and profits that Apple does, which only adds to the disgust then. Apple is one of the few companies and products that probably could afford to pay their sub-contractors in China and their retail employees in the US a better wage
