15. Yep. Same old misleading bullshit.

Old links, most of which the situations have changed for the better.

A computer repair company whines about losing business? Boo-hoo. All Apple products can be returned to Apple for free recycling, in fact in many cases they will Pay You.

Steve Jobs was broke? When?

'Timing mattered: The company was in the midst of an image-tarnishing antitrust fight over its heavy-handed promotion of IE during the height of the browser wars with Netscape.'
- The feds were salivating over Apple dying, so that they could name Microsoft an official monopoly.

Greenpeace has targeted Apple for using some electricity for their data services, as a PR stunt. Apple is building a 100% green power grid. Greenpeace wants to take credit for something that Apple is doing on their own. Apple's products are the greenest of all. Period.


And as always, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Samsung, Dell, Sony, HP... All of them use the Exact Same Factories in China.

Want to be 100% Green? Go live with the Unabomber.
