Apple says No on Prop 8
Apple donates $100,000 to fight same-sex marriage ban* | Technology | Los Angeles Times
Is this my first Prop 8 post? I think it is.
Coming soon after the high-profile announcement from Google, Apple, Inc., the company that manufactures the world’s most popular mp3 player, as well as Macintoshes, also indicated that it would have a problem with alienating its talented employers. Oh, and also with Prop 8’s opposition to marriage equality:
From Apple’s start page today:
Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights– including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.
I like the wording: not just a political issue. Meaning that it is, but that’s not the most important aspect.
I like Apple a little more, and I have forgiven Google.
So where the fuck is David Geffen and Gus Van Sant?

I don’t do Cult of Mac posts much anymore and I’m not particularly enamored of Apple as a company; however, I do love my MacBook. More than I love porn even.
Anyway, these new Apple ads are funny, and from all accounts I’ve heard from Windows users, not far off the mark. Maybe someone could start a charity drive so that Microsoft can fix Vista?
Enjoy a little good-natured MS-bashing:
I’ll be back to porn in a few hours, once I get 200 responses to the poll.
