I just had some whale "bacon" in Japan a couple weeks ago. Mmmm. Tasty.
One wonders if these aging hippies at greenpeace have thought about the societal impact of cloud computing in terms of the reduced need for commuting and transport of surface mail and transport and production of physical media for ordinary business needs.
One suspects a significant impact, but that's too much for these micro brains to handle methinks.
Yeah, because the people who don't agree with polluting the environment are the crazy ones...Don't you find it at least a little backwards that we are powering amazing devices with 150 year old technology? You would think people who love power-efficient computers (Apple computers) would also care about powering their entire ecosystem sustainably. Will this happen over night? Obviously not, and most environmentalists don't expect that to happen, but these same environmentalists (which include highly-educated Biologists, Physicists, Oceanographers, etc) have been trying to help the public understand pollution for nearly 40 years. These "micro-brained" people are pushing the boundaries and helping us think differently about how we interact with the environment. Isn't that what Apple is all about, thinking differently and pushing the envelope?
Now if the public could get over its (at times) irrational fear of nuclear energy and realize just how harmful coal (the mining process, the ash, and the emissions) really is, and if we could stop denouncing environmentalists as dirty hippies because they don't believe patriotism is correlated with a love of oil, parking lots, and highways, then we might have a rational discussion.
P.S. That whale you ate probably contained mercury, a byproduct of burning coal.
