Environmentalists Protest Apple's 'iWaste'. Here's a gem (my emphasis):
<sarcasm>If this guy is right, there are landfills out there just boiling over with iPods and mini iPods. Now you can add iPod Shuffles and Mac Minis to the list of throwaway gadgets.</sarcasm> Anyone else up for an iDive?The falling price and diminutive size of iPods — including the Shuffle, which weighs less than an ounce and is smaller than a pack of gum — promotes the notion that they're disposable, said Mamta Khanna, program manager for Oakland, Calif.-based Center for Environmental Health.
"People think you can just trash these things," Khanna said. "No one's thinking about where they end up."
