Dell sells to governments and big business which are interested in the bottom line, not how green the companies head quarters are. Apple sells shiny illusions to people who like to think they're doing good. They are businesses and they are running them exactly the way a 'smart' business in a cut throat capitalistic society needs to be run to rake in the dough. Don't kid yourself that they're doing it out of the goodness of their heart. If they took some of that huge capital and design savvy into actually developing renewable energy instead of token marketing strategies it might be a different case.
As for Dell 'showing off' their solar panels, well, you do know they don't work very well if you keep them locked up inside right?
caring about the environment, caring about children, caring about a future world for everyone to enjoy, and caring about a persons freedom, and freedom of knowledge and tools for everyone are all the same thing.
Marketers use the 'truth' to 'lie' by depending on the inability of the average person to be able parse a sentence correctly. Or have you never seen an ad in your lifetime?
You miss the fact that they both are supposed to have the same ideological underpinnings. Their 'concerns' are just negligible marketing expense to make you feel better about the shiny jails they sell.
Now, now, apple fanboi, don't get your panties in a bunch. The real question is: Did apple concern themselves with child labour BEFORE it started to tarnish their shiny image?
I'm guessing it's a question of whether the side effects justify the cause. WHY is apple investing in green energy? Is it just so they can put out marketing spin like this to make themselves look good? Someone who does something for the right reasons doesn't need to go around tooting their own horn, nor would they spin it.
Also consider whether this supposedly 'good' behaviour is consistent with their other behaviours of stripping freedom, price gouging, stealing, patent trolling, etc...
You know sometimes, the truly psychopathic do 'good' things to cover up who they really are. Switching to renewable for 1.5% of their overall environmental impact costs nothing in terms of the 'feel goodies' they get from the 'greenies' who can't read between the lines.
But are you sweating a lot? Doing high intensity circuit training? Or just 'traditional' weight lifting? Maybe try Insanity, most people sweat buckets on that.
Actually, it's done a lot of bad. If they didn't add iodine to salt (and make it taste like shit) then humans would be forced to get it from natural sources which come with other goodies like vitamins, nutrients, and fiber, things sorely lacking in the typical western diet.
Another case of how the west has failed. The answer should have been education, not doping.
So people using perfume smell bad? What's you're point? Vegan doesn't automatically mean healthy, especially in the west where the culture hasn't had time to develop a healthy diet.

Dell isn't concerned with selling shinies to unknowing fools.
Nice try with your big words though.
Apple's image is tarnished more by these 'allegations'. It is no surprise they are 'doing' more.

Maybe Dell's marketing budget isn't as large?

Because slashdot is no longer 'news for nerds'.
I guess the same thing that happened to the techniques to restore your eyesight.
Never trust a person who makes a living off of you staying sick and helpless.
I thought the UK went because when you're bent over with the USA's pole in your behind you pretty much don't have a choice where you go.

Ever get out much into reality?
oh, who knows. Russia and China might take advantage of the confusion to send some missiles to the US.
Greatest losers more like it. Might doesn't make right. There's a reason why the majority of the world dislikes the USA, even other western nations.
2) The USA ain't the one that is maintaining tensions. We've had lots of problems with countries since 1950 and most of them haven't lasted this long.
umm, sanctions?
Ah, but wasn't the US just 'defending' itself in the Iraq war?
How dumb can you be? Overworking your kidneys is not a good thing.
They sure as hell sweat a lot less! Life is a lot better with properly seasoned food and exercise to get rid of excess.
You know you could just exercise and sweat out excess salt. Sigh, pill poppers will be the death of us all.
Learn to google so you don't spread nonsense. It is NOT hard at all to get a recommended daily intake of iodine.

Killing something healthy to eat it and eating a rotting carcass are two very different things. Think about it.
