Apple Computers: Google Plus Users #BoycottApple over Galaxy Nexus ban, 'Slave Labour' claims!
*Slave Labour accusations
* Patent wars versus innovation
* Anti-Christian actions alleged
* Data spying, corporate espionage allowed for 3rd party apps, PC World doesn't think IO6 will end this.
This morning, when I logged into Google Plus, I noticed something up... #BoycottApple was trending.
Why people want to Boycott Apple, the maker of the IPhone, IPad, Mac, IOS, IOS6, etc?
Why? mostly over their having a US judge ban Samsung Galaxy tab, and in another more recent instance, having a US judge ban the Samsung Galaxy Nexus sales in the USA, and people want to boycott Apple, partly over recent allegations, of 'slave labour' conditions facing those making Apple products.
Apple's political campaigning, and moving to ban apps from their istore, which criticize political views, which Apple agrees with, have also caused some to dislike their products, for instance, the Manhattan Declaration App, was banned, seemingly for opposing abortion, and saying marriage is between one man and one woman. An app which believed homosexual lifestyle to be a choice, was also banned.
Apple has also donated considerable money to changing the definition of Marriage legally in the United States, from one man and one woman, to 'homosexual marriage'.
Apple's storing of private voice Data, taken from Siri usage, Spy Planes saga, and consistent allowing of 3rd party applications to steal private data, even (in the case of LinkedIn) corporate secrets, a practice IO6, despite Apple claims, PC World says: will not address, only protecting Apple legally speaking, according to PC world, is another reason some are disquieted.
It is uncertain what effect any aim at boycotting will have. It is possible, that the Trend, much like a strike, in a main street, may suggest to Apple, it is time to change some of their practices, or it may cause a boycott, or else, have no effect, or some unexpected effect.

About me
A deep interest in the law of South Africa, especially our constitutional and common law, guided my studies and continues to influence my current career path. I enjoy engaging in the day to day work of being an attorney, and reading the material contained in our case law.
I have gained and enjoyed much exposure to the law and to the day to day details of practice, and to extensive litigation work, during my years of practise since my admission to the profession and enrolment as an attorney of the High Court, as well as during my articles of clerkship and, prior to that, when I worked as a student counsellor/paralegal at the Wits Law Clinic – in the final year of law school and during my studies at the School for Legal Practice.
I am passionate about the place of my birth, South Africa, and am proud to be a patriot and citizen of this diverse and beautiful nation. I consider myself a global citizen and keep connections in a number of different nations across the world. Communicating with people from other cultures, I believe, has aided me to have a more open-minded approach in so far as how I see, and interact with, the world.
I believe success requires not just hard work but intelligence, perseverance, humility, integrity, ingenuity, diligence, a strong work ethic, and the courage to request the assistance of those better-versed in a matter, or field, where necessary.
The cultures and legal systems, morals and courtesy systems, languages, intricacies and religions of South Africa and of the nations of the world, are subjects I love to research. I enjoy reading and writing. To keep abreast with important events occurring in other countries, I find my knowledge of other languages, especially French, to be highly useful. I passed Afrikaans at a matric level. I took Zulu from grades 5 to 7. The language I am best acquainted with, is my first language of English, which I speak in everyday life.
I enjoy public speaking and debate, and believe that manners, appropriate dress for an occasion and courtesy are of very great importance. I enjoy hard work and like to throw myself entirely into solving a problem.
