ditching Apple products due to boycotts?

I sure hope outsourcing becomes null and void.  What do you base this 
on?

  Clearly they are doing it for symbolic purposes... which is why we should do it right back to them.  Apple products are overpriced and overpromoted anyway.  They are a California based company but they certainly do most of their work overseas.  The way things are currently going the outsourcing equation will change, and possibly become invalid.

And this is why boycotts are stupid... if you take it to the logical conclusion no one can buy anything.

The thing is that Apple is based in california and that's where the design their products. Then again if we were to boycott all of california products wouldn't we have to ban our networking infrastructure because we the hardware is mostly based in california?
