No other company on Earth would have the hubris to come up on the bottom of Greenpeace's list of green companies several years running, and then run a commercial claiming they have the most green computer. It always amazes me how Apple gets away with just saying night is day, and everyone just shrugs and says they are surprised it is so dark, but it must be the middle of the day, Apple says so.

Unless Apple's Chinese contract factories are powered by unicorns and rainbows, the production of that electricity (by COAL, no doubt) needs to be taken right off the bottom line of any PR BS about 'greenest'. But, being Apple, everyone will give them a free pass and praise them to the smog-obscured heavens.
