Nothing in this silly post doesn't also apply to Google. Google datacenters are connected to the grid as well. It's not feasible for Apple stores in cities and shopping malls to be connected to solar or wind farms. It's still all renewable energy.
- cromwellian 9y agoGoogle's datacenters are large, but they don't consume the resources needed to produce 1 billion smart phones.
- zepto 9y agoAndroid does. Google can't claim credit for Android when it likes and disown it when there are unpleasant side effects.
- DannyBee 9y agoThe parent is claiming one has to catch up to the other. I am pointing out this it not actually right. You are claiming "they are both just as bad". So you don't seem to disagree with me?
- IBM 9y agoYou posted a blog post by a Randian climate change denier who authored a book called The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. I'm assuming you just searched for the first article that tries to spin Apple's environmental efforts negatively and that you don't actually endorse anything he wrote. If in fact you do, consider this: when you deposit cash in an ATM on one side of town and withdraw it from another on the other side of town, the cash may not be physically the same cash you deposited. Electrons work the same way.
- DannyBee 9y ago<A lot of words attacking this author's character> Do you actually want to address the point he makes, or the point i made (that we are talking about apple), or just want to character assassinate a person? Because it seems a lot like the latter. (If you consider him to be "not even worth discussing", then please do that instead of the character assassination, because it's not interesting, useful, or contributing to the discussion)
