My god, how did we miss this tidbit from Tuesday's Apple Expo:

Steve Jobs claimed, as he introduced the new packaging for the iPod updates he rolled out yesterday, that the new cases would be good for the environment. To paraphrase, he said an equal number of iPods can now be shipped in a much smaller space, which will require fewer trucks and planes to move them around, thereby reducing the company's reliance on fossil fuels.

Uhhhhh-huh. Does anyone know an expert on computer waste who can chat about just how BS this is? Please e-mail me.
