How Steve Jobs Got Green Overnight

Francois writes "At Apple's last special event, Steve Jobs insisted on how environment friendly Apple's new iPod packagings are supposed to be. I don't think he's ever gone that route before. 'We've got some new packagings for the new Nano as well. And it's 52% less volume. This turns out to be an environmentally great thing. Because it dramatically reduces the amount of fossil fuels we have to spend to move these things around the planet.' Not only is it obvious they shrank the packaging to reduce the cost of shipping around the planet and sell lower than the Zune, but furthermore: there's a reason why he insisted that much, and it's not so very nice."

Slashdotted in record time

I play my mp3s on a totally organic player made from twigs and mulched hippies.

Aha...

1. Post vague, ominous anti-Apple FUD.
2. As evidence, cite a link that is already down -- people will assume it's slashdotted.
3. People don't know what you're claiming, but a negative cloud surrounds their image of Apple.
4. Next time, they'll buy a Zune! Yeah! (aka: profit)

Smug Alert!

Apple users should all move to san francisco where they can enjoy smelling their own farts.

I'll eat any apple turnovers you might have laying around. Dell turnovers don't sound so tasty, though, so I'll have to pass on that one.

Just a wild guess here: do you deny women your essence?
