As anti-capitalist, I oppose all corporations, including Samsung. On the other hand, as a free software activist, Apple has made itself my number one enemy in the past year or so with the considerable spread of the DRM-ridden iOS.

I can never remember if Apple is a monopolist or Android is taking over.
I similarly can't understand how Microsoft is dying in the post-PC world that we are supposed to be living in, but somehow trying to kill Linux by requiring secure boot on it's PCs(which no one is supposed to be buying anymore).
Well, in that case you would say that Microsoft is trying to survive by eliminating competition on scarce resources. But then, I don't think Microsoft is dying.

Yea, some anti-capitalist you are - cheering for Google any chance you get and buying a "huge hdtv"! You are just a troll.

Last I checked I get to decide my own personal beliefs. I love technology, including hardware such as televisions and tablets, and free software based upon GNU/Linux and web standards, which are both things Google actively contributes to.

I am anti-capitalist precisely because of my love of technology. I believe that we can construct a social system which vastly improves our rate of technological progress and that won't hold it back with things like the AI winter. I believe that subsequent to developing our technological productive forces, we will have a post-scarcity resource supply that makes money obsolete because our technologies will produce everything everyone needs.
