I'm sorry I just can't let this go without comment...You do realize that Apple is bigger than all of the companies you mention, COMBINED (based on market cap)?
Microsoft: 268 billion
Lenovo: 9.58 billion
Research in Motion (Blackberry): 7.05B
Nokia: 20.18B
Total: 304.81
Apple: 570.97 Billion
If you consider employees, yes Apple is smaller - 60k vs 91k employees, however that doesn't count vendors, contractors and others indirectly employeed by the two companies.
Now, are you REALLY fightining against corporate tyranny?
