I'm always uneasy with the idea of (RED) charity: the message is "save the world by buying stuff". It's just consumerism with a bit of karma, no?

I think it's more "you're going to buy this product anyway, so why not go with the model that will help a charity?".

Sure, Product(RED) is designed to help you feel better about buying stuff you don't really need, but the high marketing spend is hardly much different than other charities. It's a "why not?" but don't assume you're done helping others for the year since you bought a (RED) iPad!

If you want to donate efficiently, may I suggest typing :help uganda into vim?

I don't understand why you're uneasy about it.
