Ok, I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the info.

Also, to all those claiming Al Gore said he invented the internet, you might want to learn about that before spouting off on it. Actually, take that as a general piece of advice.
I took the initiative in creating the Internet.

According to the scientists interviewed last night on the PBS News Hour, they are delighted he shared the award with them. So looks like you may have misunderstood why he won it - not for being a scientist but for helping communicate their findings to the lay public so well.There are so many scientists out there that deserver's the nobel peace prize over Al Gore. It's just not fair to them when someone who does not know the science around it and just presents the data without really understanding it and gets an award. There were errors in the movie Al presented. All that says is he didn't know the true science.
Maybe you can make it up by putting real scientists on your website who worked day and night that helped create your wonderful products which I feel tastes tainted.
The award was shared with the scientists of the IPCC. But remember, this was not a science prize.
Here Al Gore is being rewarded for what - spreading LIES all over the world. What he talked about as far as global warming is nothing but LIES. He has NO evidences to support what he has been spreading. Even his MOVIE is nothing but LIES. As far as Apple having him as board member, hey that is Steve's Choice. But you know what, if Steve gets the right kind of people on the board, I bet Apple can go a lot further in their business. Apple should give credit to the REAL people that made Apple for what it is. Not Al Gore.
You accidentally didn't read the thread or haven't been paying attention. Al Gore is on the board of directors of Apple and has been so since 2003. You can bet your bottom dollar any commercial entity that has a Nobel Award Winner will be shouting it from the rafters. It's not just jazz it's a massive boon for the company.

...whats next? they're gonna tell us hes an alien from the planet volcon?...
If you lived here in US you would know our politicians. They say one thing and do something else. They are the most self-centered people on earth. And thats why I said that was a load of crap.
Also, unless Gore helped initiate the creation of ARPANET which was invented in 1959 I don't think he can take credit for this.
A total opportunist and hypocrite that has done so much good promoting awareness for environmental issues and climate change that he's been awarded a Noble Peace Prize.They guy is a total opportunist and a hypocrite.
No. Your point is a fallacy that somehow because you think he's a hypocrite that you can immediately dismiss all his work as irrelevant. Being a spokesperson and a figurehead and communicating complex issues to the public is exceedingly difficult. He's done this extraordinarily well and has been awarded the Nobel Prize because of this. It doesn't matter in your opinion what you perceive his his motivations to be.You're just proving my point. He's found a bunch in need of a spokesman and he stepped in.
"Nor did Al Gore knew what he was approving when passing this legislation." - evidence?
(The rest of your comment seems rather irrelevant.)
You're just proving my point. He's found a bunch in need of a spokesman and he stepped in. I don't remember him doing a damn thing about the environment while he was in office.
Here is an "uninformed sheep":More idiots, more garbage, more rhetoric, more uninformed sheep.

Umm, you're kidding right? Really??? She won for her humanitarian work. I'm not doubting Al won the award but the committee has lost sight of the point of a PEACE prize. Spreading word about man made climate change has absolutely nothing to do with Peace. It's like MVP awards - they now go to the best guy on the best team - not actually the Most Valuable Player in the league...

When is Al Gore going to increase the battery life on my Mac? C'mon Al!
Yes it is? Why would they have that up there? Kind of dumb to have on your front page, and can alienate some customers. They should have products up there!
