Apple Employees to Celebrate Earth Day With Green Shirts Starting April 20

[gnasher729]

Apple could protect the Earth producing and promoting headless desktop Mac instead if iMac. Computers may last for seven years, but displays last more than 20 years.

I wouldn't use a display that I bought in 1997. I had a 1024 x 768 monitor back then.

"Apple Employees to Celebrate Earth Day With Green Shirts Starting April 20".

Any monitor that I've had has usually died, or started to, after 5-6 years. The 6 year one started to flicker intermittently ... like, the whole screen would flicker on-off very fast. So fast, that you'd miss if it if you happened to blink. It's hooked up to my Mac mini now, since I rarely use that system actively (but it's on 24/7 running macOS Server and serving iTunes media to the Apple TVs.) Incidentally, my Mac mini is just over 6 years old now, and so far it's lasted longer without issue than the display that's attached to it.

Not even a genius bra?

we have breasts, a some point guys need to learn to deal with the mounds of flesh. Or could paint it green.

Apple the biggest carbon footprint producer in the world, selling non upgradable glued macs and glued phones tells his employees to wear a green t-shirt for Earth Day ?

Most feminists would argue that female breasts are no different than males so....nope! Take it off, ladies

Yup. That's why Apple employees in general really like Cook as their CEO.
He still lives a relatively humble life, renting a condo, instead of living in a gigantic MacMansion as most SF Bay Area tech CEOs do. And you'll often see him by himself on Sunday mornings at a local Palo Alto Starbucks with his iPad. No security entourage needed, as other CEOs have...

If there is one company that really depletes the earth when it comes to rare metals, and has a carbon footprint that is beyond measurement, it is Apple.
But a public image, carefully created by an army of spin doctors, works.

In his defence, he said 7 years for the computer, maybe he just keeps hardware longer.

I say 3 years for a computer, 10 for the monitor. The 3 to 1 ratio sounds about right for how long monitors last compared to computers.

I wonder what you are doing to kill those monitors. I've never had one fail in about 10 monitors that get 10+ years of usage 5-10 hours/day (multi computer household). Earlier this year I just junked about 5 CRTs all over 20 years old that were all working perfectly.

Once or twice maybe you got lemons. Every monitor you touch -- it's you.
