Who's talking about becoming less productive? I was talking about becoming more productive, surely resulting in more revenue and investing into the future for example by doing more R&D.

Do you want to explain this? because in my eyes it makes little to no sense

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
sony nokia and sony ericsson are the only green companies.
they spend huge money on ecology and release info how they dump their toxic waste and where.
but even them aren't perfect they still far a away from the 10.
nintendo only pro it's low power consumption but on the other hand they dont' keep records of toxic waste, and doens't have pro ecology systems going on.
so nobody knows what they can be doing with the chemicals of the NDS batteries but if they don't want to release it it can't be good.
and for they even getting a zero their should be employing kids in their fabrics and using toxic chemicals in their products but i doubt it since they been improving on that recently.
while the ps3 power comsumption its greater also CPU its more powerful and it used to help fight cancer and other diseases with folding at home.
and sony and sony ericsson are the only ones that almost completely removed toxic chemicals from their batteries.

Watch the movie Scrooge, then you'll probably understand.

For example what's one person really to do with 40 billion USD like Bill Gates? Even when being extremely wasteful leading an extremely luxurious life he won't be able to spend 1 percent of his wealth.
Now if we would have seen this wealth distributed over 1 million American households, each having solid resources of 40K USD instead of living in poverty, that would have a major impact on the economy. Very good for productivity and society. Bill Gates sitting on his cash on the other hand is not productive.
Seriously IMO Bill Gates didn't reallly earn his Microsoft dollars by being productive, he was lucky enough IBM picked their version of Quick and Dirty OS (QDOS), but for the rest the company has rather been destructive rather than productive, anti-competitive measures and other market abuse which has put millions of people out of work worldwide, degraded the quality of computing controlled systems causing many accidents in the past and for the long run even participated in degrading in-depth computer knowledge at universities and increasing their dependecy.
| Onyxmeth said: I don't see how it's possible that Nintendo, which is posting massive profits and is employing far fewer people than Sony can score worse in that category. Can someone explain how that could happen that has more knowledge on the subject? |
Wiimotes are breaking people's TVs so people are dumping their broken TVs in the woods :)

They didn't give greenpeace any information. So Greenpeace decided to just rank them low. Also... for what they could get... it's an average. So despite the fact that the PS3 wastes way more energy then the Wii... Sony makes much more products. |
SUUUUUUURE THEY DID. They got paid by Sony to publish this and i am sure they have nothing better to do than puting one small video game company on the bottom just because they want so. Seriously, the stupidest excuse i ever saw.
On a side note, the information Greenpeace did get was by opening up a wii and looking at the components and rate those on recyclability etc. And knowing Greenpeace, their benchmark for a 10 is recyclable wheat-donuts.
Nintendo and MS do not provide information for competitive reasons which is their right.
By the way, who has ever thrown their system away? My N64 is still working after 13 or so years.

No, just no. Nintendo and Microsoft not giving in to the demands of a radical organisation says nothing about their practice. Oh and folding has little relevance in this conversation, unless you want people pulling all the stories of the Wii helping reabilitate people and being used in hospitals etc.
I found this is 2 minutes just by looking at Nintendo's homepage:

What does Nintendo do to help protect the environment? Nintendo is very concerned with doing our part to help preserve the environment. We're always researching new products and procedures to make our products and operations as environmental-friendly as possible. Some things Nintendo is already doing:
In Nintendo of America offices:
In our products:
(For more information on Nintendo's environmental, corporate, and social responsibility initiatives, link here to our parent company's website.) Product Recycling:
|
All of this was only on the US site, the link to the parent (JP) company site has even more information..
Really everyone, I posted two links to the threads about this when it was current which seem to have been ignored. Why are we still going round in circles about this?
| MikeB said: IMO this is a company's responsibility. You can do more by employing more people as well as you're helping the global community. Sony is a highly competitive company, with many competitors for many different market segments.
|
It's not a company's responsibility to hire people just because they have the money. That is bloody insane. Sony isn't doing the world any favors, they (were) a poorly run company that allowed its divisions too much autonomy, making redundant products and products that were subpar by market standards.
Seriously, Mike, you need to take a step back and think about some of these things you say. Yes, MS makes more money and they've aggressively tried expanding into consumer electronics with that money. If Nintendo keeps riding this pale white horse through town, expect them to do the same down the road.
Stop trying to find ways to congratulate Sony executives for finding ways to run the premiere electronics corporation into the ground over the past half decade.

by the way why do we even care for greenpeace?
the idea is good, but in their actions they are just plain terrorists
