Weekend Open Forum: The most 'evil' tech company?

Sadly, probably... that's why Dell has votes XD.
(How Dell got on this list I will never know working in PC repair for so many years if any PC OEM deserves to be here it's Gateway.)

The first evil company of all is Rambus.

at&t isn't really a tech company since they sell other companies tech

Thanks for the Link. It's so true. i see people in my school (cause Apple and macs are the "thing" at my school...) mindlessly buying macs, thinking that they're getting good value for their money or that the extra expenses are worth it because they think the hardware is of very good quality. The only thing Macs are good for is the software that Apple makes. But even then there's usually software that might be close to... maybe IMovie and things like that.

I actually chose sony as most evil, until i read this..

Apple hands down... Sony aren't evil just a little bit challenged imo

The Mad "iMonk"

Do they actually do technology? I thought it was a law firm.

I know, it's the whole mind control thing Jobs has going on. Now that's really evil. It's the same s*** that got Rasputin killed.

Perhaps there's a reason Apple's logo has a bite in it.

EA has been ruining successful franchise games for years now, therefore, they get my vote.

Where's IBM?

the holocaust sponsor

The United States Government, but I might be out there in limbo by myself on this issue.

Considering the US government isn't anything remotely resembling a "technology company", you might be simply posting to share your opinion. Either from "limbo" or perhaps elsewhere in space.

don't know if they qualify but i have to say sprint...worst ever....

sheep are out in force today, i guess apple are 'evil' because they are popular or something? Or you can't afford it?

voted adobe for flash

Follow the watch.....shiny isn't it?........, now count backwards from 100......99.....98...., you are getting hungry......, hungry......., hungry...... for another Apple product. Now when I snap my fingers......you will wake up refreshed, feeling the need to spend too much money, and rush down to the iStore and buy something you will spend many happy hours trying to find a use for later.

Another Appleite (or are they called Jobsonians?) has checked in. And they are pushing their own Final Cut because they have enough issues with Adobe and their CS5 (soon to be CS5.5). Here is part of the description: "Final Cut Pro 7 gives you more creative options and technical control" but with the subliminal message of "creative options and technical control that we tell you must have and nothing more!"

Hear, hear! The game industry should not tolerate their behaviour against game developers.

Well, Adobe is over the top with activation and bugs not fixed issues, especially with Photoshop Elements,

CS-5.5 products can now be purchased on a subscription basis, so it probably is time to jump ship. All this "cloud" BS is nice for the dull of wit, but now they're trying to force it on us. This would mean every time you crank up "Premier Pro", (or other CS program), Adobe would have their corporate nose up your private a**. (Actually they already do, with , FNP licensing service, and Adobe updater). (The only thing "Adobe Updater" tried to update recently was itself. I don't know about you, but I call that "Spyware")!

I'm standing pat at PSCS-4, PSE-7, (which is a slow flushing turd, at least when you have a very large photo collection), and good old serial number only activated PSE-5.

I don't share any of the addictions to either gaming, or to having the "latest and greatest" of anything, that so many here seem to "possess". So, Adobe is evil, our guest was right about that. But still, that hardly makes Apple a worthwhile alternative.

This is why the two companies are warring; they're both parasites, and it's like fleas and ticks fighting for control of the dog.

I still think this poll needed a "select all" button, to truly validate it.

No Route, we call them iSheeps, beside it fits nicely with the 'i' they have going with every thing

I am sure you realize that you are (indirectly) 'validating' my arugment that 'un-checked economic freedom' (i.e. capitalism) is the real evil which unfortunately people are failing to understand until it is too late.

OK, "iSheep" is granted cute. But at least consider my suggestion, which I firmly believe is much more of what they have going on, that would be, "iHoles". This melds nicely with, "AppHoles", in case you want to give the brand a quick "plug" Or, "plugging", if you prefer to write in the present progressive tense.

Actually, capitalism is only the motivating evil. "Consumerism" is the real "imbecile" factory. What people don't understand is that,"currency" was developed to augment or supersede the barter system. They further don't understand that an "information" based economy is not really possible. The bottom line is you can't eat the s*** you know. Nor is a "service based economy". Here, if you have a dozen people wiping the a** in front of them, expecting to be paid for it, somebody's gonna be SOL, because there's no food entering into the chain here either.

So, a "post modern economy" requires that there be available a cheap source of labor, and people that are still willing to grow something, make something, or dig something out of the ground, for very little money.

After the Chinese workers become affluent, there's no place on the planet that will fill these requirements, save for perhaps Sub-Saharan Africa. So what I envision, (or perhaps hope for), is when there's nobody growing food, or making goods, most of these dumb SOBs, will die out when they can no longer find a place that still does take out on their stinking iPhones.
