i love my apple stuff but i do think it is incredibly disappointing that a "progressive" company like Apple only now tries to go the "green" way after many organizations like Greenpeace (who use Macs themselves btw ;P) put enormous media pressure on them.
Steve Jobs should know better. >:/

just off of branding alone, you would think apple would have been at the forefront of the whole thing.

good for you.
good luck, pal.

thx!
in reality it doesn't seem to be so bad as i used to project it before. and many things, like fear, rejection, prejudice etc. are based on nothing more then our own projections ..
oh i should stop here now hahahah..

(May 2 07, 14:40)I'd be far from telling Jobs how to do his job :) I think the common reaction to greenpeace site was "wow, apple will be green soon" rather than a purely negative one, even if the first reaction was a shock.
Besides, can any of you _sincerely_ tell you didn't buy apple equipment because of green issues?
- mrdobolina0
no, I didnt buy apple products because they are a ripoff ;)

for the price... they should rename themselves to Crapple.
Don't get me wrong... they have pretty stuff and the iPod rocks...
... but I just built a computer and saved nearly $4k in comparison for BETTER parts.
... yes... $4k.
... like we really need anymore iSheep.

I understand people like mac's, that is dope, they are great. but they aren't really superior.
If the tables turned, do you think there wouldn't be any virus shit going on the mac side? Pleeeezbuleeev there would be.
Was there a huge uproar from pc users when apple went to intel chips? Those users didn't give a fuck.
Tell me that you wouldnt hear about it if the pc suddenly began using the chips that apple had been using for eons.
be for real. the company is not any better than dell/microsoft hp/microsoft or any of that. They just are extremely good at marketing.

Crouwel,
outside this apple foray, i want to wish you the best of wishes to your goals' end in sight and to those mental exercises allowing you to achieve them. this is a wonderful thing.

i will also say they apple 'machine' as a whole is a better 'experience' than any PC i have personally ever used.
they are pretty.
they feel good.
the peripherals do not obstruct my flow.
the connectivity is seamless to anything i want to do.
the color palette and design of their mechanicals are superior.
totally personal take, but those qualities do count to me in a device (computers or other) that i use for this amount of time of my waking life.

again, dope.
you like mac's a lot, nothing wrong, but they aren't superior.
