    Or....you could just plant more trees & stop chopping down the ones we have.


    Oh, wait....that's be too simple.

    @squishyalt: Do you realize that natural growth forests in the US are actually stable, and have been for over 100 years? We are actually the world's largest producer of timber grown exclusively for use. This means we are growing it as fast as we use it. Only 30% of the virgin land area of the US that existed when Europeans arrived has been used, and that has stabilized. The numbers are more impressive in Canada, too.


    As far as trees go, we're doing a pretty damn good job.

    They should make real synthetic trees that turn CO2 in C6H1206 and 02 by using light. Now thàt would be useful.

    Ummm... Kay. Produce plastic, and CFC's in the process... and then kill REAL trees to make fake ones. Am I missing something?

    It may save weight, but what about heat? Would/will carbon fiber help cute Lego-luvin people from being "punished" by their S&M laptops?

    @MJDeviant: Yeah you are an idiot. When apple implemented the much more expensive Unibody casings did they raise the prices of their hardware. No. It is very unlikely that they would charge anymore for this than they do already. In my opinion Macs are expensive, but build quality, especially with the new unibodies is something you just do see anywhere else.

    @firefox 3.5 eats memory like candy_eagles3: Apple can't do magic. This might not even be commercially viable, or it might be years before this becomes cheap enough. That's why companies do "research". Sigh.
