Apple: Greenpeace's Cloud Critique Driven By Bogus Numbers
miller60 writes "Apple says Greenpeace has wildly overestimated the amount of power it uses in its data center in North Carolina, and used that bad math to give the company a low grade on sustainability. Apple says it uses 20 megawatts of power at its iDataCenter, a fraction of Greenpeace's estimate of 100 megawatts in a new report on energy use by cloud computing providers. Apple says that its huge solar array and biogas-powered fuel cell will supply 60 percent of the facility's power, not the 10 percent claimed by Greenpeace."
What will Apple do without the Steve Jobs reality distortion field in this situation?
Is this the same Apple that refuses to fix broken GPU's that it knows were broken in its top price hardware? Is this the same Apple that refuses to give the full two years warranty mandated by European law, despite charging a significant higher Euro price for its products supposedly to cover these costs?
The problem with being a lying scumbag of a company, is that I stop believing EVERYTHING you say. Apple lies, it is a marketing company first and foremost and marketing is lying. See the whole deal with Foxcon, there they have been proven to lie or twist the truth till it screams in agony at every turn.
No doubt this will be something like, our solar panel provides 60% of the power, at our datacenters, mini-bar. Or they measured it before all the servers were turned on.

You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
