Apple, China, environmentalist and sales.

I don't know what's more shocking, that China HAS environmentalist, or that they're not rotting in some comunist jail - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/01/apple_environment_report/

A big question is whether Apple will really shift this many iPads in short order - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/01/20_million_ipads/ - I'm usually willing to hedge a bet or two on how sales of various tech will go, but in among all the talk of a poor economy against strong sales of Apple, against all the rest of the variables at work here; I couldn't honestly predict whether Apple will shift all these, or whether Apple love has had a byte taken out of it. (Yeh, poor joke there, but I honestly haven't got a clue what is likely to happen. I only know that I won't be forking out for one of these things.)
