Apple is switching to improved power and USB cables that are halogen-free and friendlier to the environment, reports This Is London.
When halogen cables are disposed of by incineration they release toxic fumes that are dangerous to humans and the environment.
Volex, a company 23% owned by billionaire Nat Rothschild, makes the cables used for Apple products including MacBooks, iPhones and iPads. It's spending $6 million in design and start-up costs for the new cables.
Why don't first rethink how not to make new aluminium body each time You change macbook unibody keyboard???
And this keyboard that is made of 3sheet of naylon (plastic) endup cost You 250$!!!
This is a VERY VERY expensive plastic bag change!!!!
And worst ecological keyboard repair EVER on hystory!!!
So apple please stop lie that You are green company!!!
Stop complaining!! I'd you don't like the cost of apple products you can always get a non apple one. $299 an you get yourself a nice Acer laptop. It'll work like shit, but you gonna be happy with the keyboard replacement price...

Ok lets talk about FAN speed of macbook unibody...
It makes me MAD!!!! This billion $ company can't fix this shhhhty fan speed that is doing whatever want. 70grad cel. 6200rpm next 77grad cel. 2400rpm.... ???? in OSX!!!!
Brand NEW instalation of windows 7 nothing runing but fan speed 6000-6500rpm?????
Why???? To show how bad is windows !!!! But NO!!! This is intentional of apple to make windows looks bad!!!! Whatever other machine wl not run it's fans as hovercraft!!!!!!!
The new design of apple macbook power button is to be part of the fragale 3 layer nylon keyboard so that when You spil liquid just as litle to burn just the keyboard You burn th way to the power button and You CAN'T swith it OFF or You cant power ON..
And You are forced to spend 500-1000$ for unnesesery parts replacement even if You decide to use it as hometheatre or with external keyboard You are messed up cause You CAN'T power it ON/OFF!!!!
I love apple but they made me CRAZY!!!!!!
