Why? Why wouldn't you want a company - any company - to do well, build great products, make their shareholders happy, and generally succeed?

  Because I don't think their products are so great, and I believe they're having a negative effect on the industry.

    If you find an ubuntu laptop with build quality equal to a MacBook Air or Pro, I'm all ears. Same thing with the iPhone or iPad.

        That would work, unless you were determined to avoid Apple (I'm not)

    Like forcing to make nice, durable, useable stuff?

      All you guys going on about the hardware are missing my point. The vast majority of my tech support calls to family and friends are trying to work around Apple's Digital Restrictions Management on iPhones, iPads and similar. Then there was the whole Apple/Samsung thing. And the App Store policies. I've seen people come crying to HN time and time again because their app got pulled or they can't update it any more. I don't consider them a nice company and I don't find their stuff nice or usable. So you can keep the rotten fruit away from me, thanks.
