> Imagine if the top-ten stories for the day on this board were about the conditions at Apple's factories in China.
I don't think it would have the same effect. Go Daddy is immensely reliant on the decisions of a handful of tech-savvy people. It's easy to move a domain, which hurts their bottom line. (for example, there was an effort made by some redditors to try to convince Wikipedia to move away from Go Daddy)
If everyone who visited HN stopped buying Apple products, it would be a blip (if that) on their revenue. While I wish it were that easy, I think Go Daddy is a special case.
even than it would not matter. Apple could move every manufacturing operation to another bad but better than china condition countries overnight. And we would pay half more for the same equipment..
