Another great parody in a long line of Apple commercial parodies.

But on a serious note, wouldn't it be great if our computers really had that little of an effect on the environment? I know it's a long way off, but I put together a few ideas on what I think a great eco-friendly computer could be like. You can read about it here.

hope that recycled materials are working, there is a reason why it's being recycled right ?

Okay, the principal and I watched the video after all of the kids left the school, and we laughed for like ten minutes. That was hysterical.

Thanks for your question.

When a computer gets thrown out or recycled, it's often because one part goes bad. (Often it's the hard drive). The rest of the computer is usually still in good working order. Those parts could reused.

In the case where the parts are no longer usable either because they're broken or they're just too old, the hope is that the materials could be recycled and new parts created. I believe this would be the easiest for the metals, but some of the materials would be a challenge.

Seems like Apple didn't like this video.

Youtube just removed this video and I can't find it on verdantcomputing.com either... It seems like Apple had something against it. But what?
