Lol I've seen that before. Actually the iPhone example is a very clear case of hypocrisy. My only point is that I'm sure Microsoft has plenty of other clients whose profits are only 1 or 2 degrees removed from oil extraction. Any level of participation in capitalism is likely increasing oil extraction indirectly. It is the primary energy source of economic activity. Shutting down the oil companies will not speed up development of alternative energy sources (which we already have tech for, like nuclear, but the general public never got over their fear of it).
