Absurdity.

#3The major U.S. cable companies seem to be on that list. The major U.S. phone companies do not.
Many of us are in a situation where our ISP choices consist of the cable company and the phone company. One might consider this a point in the phone company's favor.

#5I was surprised by Revlon, L'Oreal, and Tiffany & Co. I can understand why makers of music and movies might (wrongly) support this, but why makeup and jewelry?

Is hurting them really the only option? Converting would be more useful..

In the majority of cases, a boycott will not work. If 100 million people use a product every day, you have to get 1 million people to care enough to participate before the company even notices something's happening. The trick is to look for places where the set of people who actually care about the issue is able to make an impact. My guess is that the best focal point here is in hiring engineers. Decent hackers should not work at companies on this list. I think if we make a bit if a cultural shift within our community, if we start considering it a true mark of shame to have worked for one of these firms past 2012, that might start to hurt them.
