award of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. While I'm generally
Apple-friendly, this is the ultimate kissing up to the boss. Al Gore is
an Apple Board member. His work on "the climate crisis" is a
politically driven attempt to scare the "hail" out of people - there is
so much research that brings question to his statements. Apple should
stick to making technology, and do it in an earth-friendly way. For
example, I applaud their work last Summer (2007) as they took greater
steps to make new monitors for laptops that don't have dangerous
chemicals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would have been equally impressed with this on the front page: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/photos/edfaulkner/images/2164503/original.aspx" title="Ed's spin on Al's Apple page" alt="Ed's spin on Al's Apple page" mce_src="http://blogs.technet.com/photos/edfaulkner/images/2164503/original.aspx" align="bottom" height="312" width="500"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you've read my "About" page, this would be the rabbit I discussed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2164387" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/edfaulkner/archive/tags/Mac+Office/default.aspx">Mac Office</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/edfaulkner/archive/tags/Nobel/default.aspx">Nobel</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/edfaulkner/archive/tags/WWW/default.aspx">WWW</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/edfaulkner/archive/tags/Peace/default.aspx">Peace</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/edfaulkner/archive/tags/Apple/default.aspx">Apple</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/edfaulkner/archive/tags/Gore/default.aspx">Gore</category><category domain="http://blogs.technet.com/edfaulkner/archive/tags/Al+Gore/default.aspx">Al Gore</category></item></channel></rss>
