Oh, dear, Apple has sinned! It has been denounced in the star chamber of the latest pseudo-religion! Nothing else to do but tie steve up on top of a pile of sticks, douse him in oil and strike a match. Or push a wall over on him.
All the things Apple is supposed to be guilty of are basically all the same: not being loudly public with their piety.
Typical MS waterboy
Typical MS waterboy response. What does your response say about you? No substance, zealot, child? Apparently you agree with the article. Tell us why? You can't agree or disagree...because you have nothing to contribute. A child with a vocabulary. Good for you!

ut I'm logical and can recognize this article for the Eco-garbage that it is. Wonder how much CO2 it added to the atmosphere? Oh who cares? It doesn't matter anyway.
Follow the money
Why would Stoneybrook Farms discredit Apple computer, a company with a large and very loyal base of support? What would they possibly gain? They know that Climate Counts has no real credibility, and their data is basically garbage. They also know that backlash could hurt them.
The answer has to be that someone is paying them. Someone who would gain by discrediting Apple. Someone with big money. Microsoft, for example.
Apple has a new-age reputation that is a part of their popularity, so to make gains against Apple, discredit the new-age aura.
The websites featuring this story, like this one, are part of the scam. They gain from hits, and many of them are nothing more than bought-and-paid-for propaganda outlets for Microsoft.
Is this a Joke?
Is this some type of joke?
Can anyone take seriously a report funded from an industry that produces 3 times the amount of greenhouse gas than any other industry known to man.
PR effort is about posturing
If you aren't just being a fanboi on this one, go to ROUGHLYDRAFTED.COM and read much more detail about this and how it's more about posturing than actual ecology. It's a PR stunt, and what is to be gained is slamming the most visible company in technology. The company that actually invents things, leads in most areas, and has the Microsoft fanbois laying awake at night worrying about how much marketshare they can lose before everyone realizes what a pile they have been shoving at everyone for years now.

Apple has actually quite a bit of public data about their environmental efforts.

All of this took about two minutes to find on Apple's website. Hardly difficult to find. Climate Counts did not do even a minimum of due diligence in their study before slamming Apple.
