Apple Shareholders Meeting 2005
News.com reports on Apple's annual shareholder meeting yesterday.
Environmental issues took center stage with protests regarding Apple's recycling policies which Jobs defended.
Beyond this there were the usual range of questions on future products (no comment, of course)and suggestions for Apple to better market the Mac against Windows based computers.

They also had a pop at the tiny bit of lead in the iPod. It is a bit of a back handed compliment as one of the echo warriors was quoted as saying some thing like - "we're going after the iPod because it is the IT device of the moment."
Well it has worked for them as they have got some press, even if their facts are a bit pie in the sky.

I don't get this recycling stuff.. Who would even want to trash a mac?!? there's always someone who will want it.

Heck is all Apple has to do is agree to take any computer dropped off at a store... then all they have to do is donate the machines to places like.

Edit: just because it's an old useless dust collector to you, doesn't mean it's useless to somebody who cannot afford a computer.

I love it that Steve called Apple being singled out "Bulls**t" -- it's probably some other industry people who want to cause Apple some bad publicity right before Tiger and other announcements of cool stuff.

Apple can't be held responsible for what a comsumer does with any old macs. The comsumer has a responsibility to despose of their waste in a correct and proper manner. In education now we can not put ANY IT waste in a normal bin. Everything has to be desposed off correctly.
I do think it is cool that Apple is trying to educate its comsumers in this matter. :)

The modern environmental movement is really about anti-capitalism than anti-pollution anyway.
Besides, everyone knows the solution to pollution is dilution. Just burn it all! ;)

I hate the way the hippies gang up on one company when in reality, it's the whole industry they're unhappy with. They did it here in Australia with petrol (gas) stations when they singled out Mobil and tried to get people to boycott them. It's a pretty common technique. It's a shame they've picked on Apple and not Dell/HP or someone else. :(
