Easy on the all the hyperbole there. Again, its all about perspective, Apple is the largest computer and electronics manufacture and distributor today, and further they are making the highest profits. At the least, they become a symbol of the beast. You may be right that we are contributing, and we would not deny that, but we shouldn't suddenly start celebrating Apples' dominance in exploiting the world simply because they have such good marketing and branding strategies, if anything, that should make us all the more wary. I repeatedly confess I own an Apple product, but I have it begrudgingly as I might also own my computer, and I am all the more conscious of its effects on the world hence why I limit my consumption of these products while that same time increasing advocacy and awareness. Most people own SEVERAL Apple products and several computers, that is even more so the problem than just Apple or exploitative economic practices alone, if anything, is a result of Apples' genius marketing strategies to convince folks to exploit the world several times more than they even need! If we are raining on your Apple parade I apologize sincerely, but please don't think you have some immature "Got Ya" moment because the way you've been glowing about Apple products, it makes you and not us look all the more a hypocrite
