Everyone hate the US, but a lot of technology they use daily come from American companies. Why?

Question

Every person who's not from the US seem to hate us, and they like showing their hate through the internet, on their computers or something, yet a lot of those things involve something that came from the US.
Like smart phones for example,
Apple Iphone -> Apple -> American company
Android smartphone -> Android -> Google -> American company

Or desktop computers that most likely have an Intel, or AMD processor (both american companies)
The OS is a big part of any computer, yet the three 3 big ones(windows, linux and osx) all originated in america, and most people would probably be using windows(if you really want to go back, C(which is what most software is written in) was made by bell labs(another big one is java, by sun/oracle).

if they truly hated America, wouldn't they ditch all these things?

Answer 1

They don't like American society.

Answer 2

"3 big ones(windows, linux and osx) all originated in America,"

Linux is not a operating system, the others are. This is a common misconception.

A linux distro is the operating system (Ubuntu, Puppy, Mint).

Linux is the kernel and is from europe, GNU the tools that run on Linux are USA.

The programs that make a viable distro come from the world wide community.

As to the distros,

Ubuntu, S Africa

Puppy, Australian,

Also distros from Russia, China, India, Germany + more.

As Linux Distros are open source and not owned by anyone you cannot place them geographically or with a corporation.





This next part is of beat and is a personal opinion so don't report me!!!!

"if they truly hated America, wouldn't they ditch all these things?"



This is how lots of people in the UK see America.



America thinks it owns the world.

The American politics/policy's to others.

American consumption way of life.

A external view of lack of regard to the Enviroment./energy usage.



Its not the invitations of the past, its actions of the American government/corporations

(include Apple and Microsoft in this), that make people oppose America.

The American people are highly regarded here. but not the government/corporations.

Answer 3

i think of anti-American sentiment isn't fairly targetted on the guy. (particular, in case you ask a query like "Why does each physique hate individuals?" then you gets solutions especially directed on the populous. yet that's as a results of fact the respondents are the two generalising by way of loss of attempt, they simply don't know the thank you to physique their reaction, or they provide theory to your question an open invitation to attack the querent or content cloth - which occurs plenty on Yahoo! solutions.) Anti-American sentiment, regardless of the undeniable fact that, isn't something new, and grew to become fairly nicely-nicely-known for the duration of the chilly conflict - and for stable reason. jointly as this is authentic that Americana idealises democracy, that democracy is purely a motor vehicle for capitalist imperialism at a company - no longer a countrywide - point. (maximum wealth generated via the palms of the various pass into the palms of the few.) this is this insatiable thrust for inner maximum economic wealth that motivates various yank distant places coverage, and that's those distant places rules that spark anti-American sentiment. temporarily, various the international sees successive American administrations as bullies. The bully. and no one likes a bully. Sorry. For what this is nicely worth, I do accept as true with a number of the standards that Milk and neal9jsg makes, yet that does no longer mean I hate you, your loved ones, your persons, your neighbours, your dogs, your espresso maker... regardless of the undeniable fact that I do have self assurance that society and civilisation will at last crumple and fall under American greed - as is happening in Iraq, suited now. yet regardless of the undeniable fact that, sh!t occurs.

Answer 4

Just like me. I hate my HP Laptop because it's crap and has a small processor. But however, I am about to starve on the streets in the next 2 months of so if my father does not find a job for him. So they complain:

1. They do not have the money for buy a more premium device.

2. They bought a device they are not satisfied with but don't want to sell.

3. They're just spoiled idiots that don't know what they're talking about and need to remove themselves from our society.
