For some people, the sun may well shine out of Steve Jobs' backside, the more so after yesterday's unveiling of the iPhone, but environmentalists appear to have a quite different take, accusing Apple of not running a green enough ship.
According to EETimes, while Apple's chief was giving his share-price-boosting keynote address at San Francisco Macworld yesterday, Greenpeace was busy projecting giant images of Asian scrapyards at the company's downtown San Francisco store.
Greenpeace, EETimes says, decided to use the event as the latest phase in its campaign to push Apple and the entire electronics industry toward greener policies and practices - quoting the environment-protection group as saying that Apple is still lagging behind other electronics companies, which have made commitments to green their products and have set up global recycling programs for them.
Check out the EETimes piece, make sure to watch the Greenpeace spoof video - The speech we wanted to hear from Steve Jobs - then let us know in the HEXUS.community how you feel about green issues and the way some companies still seem to skirt around them.
