Yes, all corporations seek profit, but like the Perl moto says, "there is more than one way to do it". One company can decide that it can make more money by selling stuff that Israelis want (this is the way that Microsoft went, almost from the start), another company can decide that it can't be bothered with this small market (this is the way Apple went for many years, and many of its services still are unavailable in Israel), and a third company can decide to boycott Israel completely, because selling in Israel will actually cause it to lose money (e.g., because of the Arab Boycott). So while companies that chose the first path - like Microsoft - aren't saints, they should at least be commended for chosing this path, and not one of the other two. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Oct 25 2011, [email protected] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |A conclusion is simply the place where http://nadav.harel.org.il |you got tired of thinking. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
