Taking a Hypocritical Bite at Apple

The last week or so I've seen a lot of people ragging on Apple over the factory conditions at Foxconn in China, who Apple contracts to do much of their production.

I'm just wondering how many of the people who are bashing Apple and swearing they'll never buy an Apple product have anything by Acer, ASUS, Cisco, Netgear, Lenovo (or Dell. Do they have a Nintendo DS or Wii?? What about a Microsoft XBox 360?? Sony laptop. playstation, or PSP?? Do they have an Amazon Kindle or Barns and Noble Nook?? What about anything from IBM or HP? Do they have Intel Inside?? Do they have a Motorola, Sony Ericsson or Nokia mobile phone? What about a Panasonic or Sharp TV, DVD, or laptop? A Vizio monitor??

If the answer to any of those is "yes", then congratulations. You're using a product more than likely ALSO made by Foxconn, in the exact same factories and conditions that Apple products are made in.

Wouldn't it make more sense, rather than ragging on one company, to hold ALL of them to task for the conditions their contractors maintain? Or is it simply easier to lash out at one particular company and ignore the rest?
