    @Software_Goddess: When we were building a new room in my house, we had just finished putting up the drywall when family dropped in with their two very young boys. I marched them into the empty room, handed each a pencil and said, "Boys, get it out of your system now, cause anywhere else it will not be appreciated. Have fun." They spent hours doodling on the bare drywall which later, of course--and much after they'd left--was painted over.

    All of the empty boxes would be great for building a giant fort. Use one of those Bravias to display "No Girls Allowed".

    you guys make such a big deal of the dumbest things ever.


    as long as the box isn't delivered in a limo, that's in a plane that's delivered by fedex, who gives a rats ass?!


    you know how much of a friggin' pain it is for shipping small containers from a logistics perspective?!

    @comfortablesofa: Perhaps they could ship a ton of cables in a big box to Apple Stores in the US and then have orders for those cables filled from the Apple Stores instead of from Shanghai, China.


    Because that's where this, like all other items ordered from Apple's website, comes from.

    I'm not saying this picture is false but it is entirely possible to get a big box shipped from Apple and say this tiny thing came from it... There is no proof that this is real.


    Regardless, the last time a post like this was made, Apple quickly fixed it. Let's hope the same happens.

    @efenili: I know a lot of shippers will often use a standard volume shipping measurement (like a flat rate box size) so they can buy them in bulk at a discount (winds up being cheaper than shipping these small items by weight due to the volume discount)...


    It sucks but can actually save the shipper (and you) a decent amount of money on shipping at the expense of resources.

    I got mine in a much smaller box. Maybe they ran out.


    What irks me more is getting retail hang-packaging for stuff I order online. Blister-packs are the worst.

    @eyephone: I disagree. I'm a fan of Apple, but excessive use of packaging hurts the environment, and while I know Apple is an example, not the only cause, last time someone commented on packaging waste at Apple, the issue was fixed really quickly. It was impressive enough that I think its worth it.

    href="#c9196762">eyephone: Someone needs to call bullshit on apple's green advertising scheme when they are rated terribly by environmental groups as a company. Just because you made a few power efficient products and small boxes for those products doesn't make you green.

    @Zomb: Group. Not groups. Apple is criticized more because it's market base tends to be more sensitive to environmental issues. Apple has led the way and other PC manufacturers have followed. Take a business sustainability course and you'll see how Apple is the case study for electronics.

    @MBPro: I discussed Apple in a marketing class once, but not in any of the three related environmental studies classes I ever took...


    "Sustainable Markets"

    "Environmental Buisness" = Essentially equivalent to "busness sustainability", but the dept had a thing about using the 'enviro-something something' names to hype the dept...

    or,

    "Environmental Citizenship" = Covered a whole unit on identifying truly sustainable and responsibly marketed products.


    The only business I can ever recall discussing as an end-to-end case study was Patagonia. And those hippies be craaaazy... But they can make some damn warm fleece out of recycled PET1 bottles!
