Apple recently got all their laptop power supplies Energy Star-compliant, is phasing out the mercury from all their products and stopped selling CRT-based displays (a large source of lead). Apple laid out their future plans for greening up the company’s products at the link below.

I’m pretty sure Apple does design their software.
The iPhone is more than sub-notebook for my needs. I use it to check e-mail, surf the Web, listen to music, watch videos, organize calendar and contact information, look at photos, take notes, plus all the stuff a laptop can’t do (make calls and send text messages), so a sub-notebook would only be giving me a bigger screen. No thanks!
Your complaint doesn’t make much sense. You want iTunes to be able to easily import any video file, and it already does this. Just drop a video into iTunes, convert for iPod/Apple TV/iPhone if necessary, and sync. But your explanation entry is saying you want iTunes to be able to import a DVD, which is a completely different thing. I agree with that particular sentiment, but I have to say that Apple already makes it easy to add videos.
I’d love this, but it probably ain’t gonna happen. Hopefully the hacker community will step forward and throw together their own drivers to make something like this happen.
I completely agree that more ports would be great (though I’d much prefer some extra FireWire ports), but I feel I should point out that the new Apple keyboard does provide power, as well as USB 2.0 transfer speeds. It is advertised as being able to charge an iPod (when connected to the new iMac, anyway). Still weird that the Mac mini has more USB ports than the higher-end iMac.
They wouldn’t even have to be very good, it’d still be hilarious.
One time I went to a Jack In The Box on foot after the restaurant had closed (many Jack In The Box restaurants have 24-hour drive-thru), and they wouldn’t let me order! Guess my money wasn’t good enough for ‘em.
iTunes works fine for me when opening multiple applications.
