I voted Apple. When your phone won't work, your phone blows up in your pocket and Apple deems it your fault, or they don't cover their PCs if you're a smoker-even though that isn't stated you're becoming an Evil Empire. Don't get me started on the iPad, sounds like a proprietary feminine hygeine product from Steve Jobs. But hey it's wireless and has downloadable apps at the iTunes store :rolleyes:

I didn't vote because I just have no idea. The evilest corporation could also be the best at deceiving the public into buying a good guy image. :ph34r:

I am going with Google. Some people know how I feel about them. Or what I think they will do in the future!
Next would be Apple.

Telecoms. Monopolized by government. Protected by government. The reason internet prices are so expensive - why we pay so much and receive so little in so many parts of the country.

"All Hail John Browning"

Unfunded US Welfare Liabilities:
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

"Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered. It is a sword-day; a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride for ruin, and the world's ending! Forth Eorlingas!"

As much as I dislike Apple and Microsoft as companies, how in the world can you not vote for RIAA as long as they are on the list?
