actually, its a great news for lawyers, they can earn more money now.........actually,i love apple for its patents and lawsuits, it creates jobs for lawyers, if there won't be any legal battles, then only the engineers will survive and all those lawyers will starve to death lolzzzzzzzz

It clearly said U.S. Government and San Francisco in the article.

I cant believe Apple is really this arrogant. Although...I have been keeping up with their lawsuits...lol.
Maybe they are.
And the iPhone just started getting picked by the govt in the last few years. Amazing.

look at the comments made by apple fans, some of them even said that he doesn't care about the environment, questioning what the environment has given him and that his macbook pro is all he needs to survive.
that's awesome, right?! I will trade the air, water, produce, everything! just for a hard-to-repair-and-recycle macbook pro..
typical arrogance of iFans..

Some iFans seem a lil extra...special.

I'm pretty sure what they said means screw the environment.

Apple doesn't even care bout the Environment. They prob don't even use recycle bags in their boxes or on their boxes

The HTC One X's are shipped with a compressed paper like case with removable insert and paper sleeve label. I thought that was pretty decent.

"Apple products are superior in other important environmental areas not measured by EPEAT, such as removal of toxic materials"
I guess this was not read by fandroids everywhere

"...removal of toxic materials."? A list of said materials perhaps? Otherwise it's just another meaningless corporate PR statement.

Except those toxic materials include the battery, which is GLUED INTO THE f**kING COMPUTER.
Apple saying it doesn't make it true.

is good that is glued. you rather have trown in the trash can like fandroids do..
24. Sniggly posted on 12 Jul 2012, 16:48 1 0
Oh god, why do you keep saying stupid s**t? The battery being glued into the chassis prevents it from being disposed of or recycled properly when the computer dies.

what we need is prove, not some simple face-saving PR statements that 3rd grader can do better.
I guess this is something iFans can't think about.

It's a corporate PR statement... did anyone really expect a company of this size to say, "Oh no, they're completely right; we're just pulling out of this for a quarter of a percent."
