    You can't say apple cares about the environment when they purposely solder on RAM and hard drives to limit upgrades. How is that good for recycling when someone has to pry off the glued on components?
    Increasing product reliability by making the interior connections as reliable as possible is good for product usage. Fewer parts failures and products are used longer. Lessening discarded products. That's all an environmental plus despite repair company whining.

    HYPOCRACY

    This is what pisses me off about Tim Cook's Apple.  Getting involved in all these dumb ass social crusades and then get caught with crap like this. Apple is better off being more neutral in these issues.

    [insert more bullshit here]
    - If you're gonna start your post with an emphasized word in caps, try to make sure you actually spell it right and don't completely butcher it. It's hypocrisy. Invest maybe 1% of the time you use to bash Apple to basic education, and you might get somewhere. 

    - This facility was shut down in 2012. Tim Cook became CEO in 2011. To pin him as a hypocrite because of this is remarkably dishonest. Also, you imply that Apple secretly doesn't care about the environment because of issues with this one facility that Cook was most likely not aware of, which is laughable. 

    - So, because Tim Cook can't single-handedly make the world a utopia, and solve all china, labor, and global manufacturing issues, it makes him a hypocrite for at least trying, and pushing in the areas that Apple CAN make a difference? Beyond social causes that you spit at, if you read Apple's progress reports you will see that they ARE making quantifiable progress in all areas to do with manufacturing. What a fucked up view you have. 

    - Don't you have anyone close to you that can help you remember to take your meds? Your continuous, never-ending, neurotic, unhinged rants make it clear that you need help, and that you should be concerned about your health.

    Do you have any objective evidence to back your claim? Your assumptions seem dubious at best.
