New, more stringent requirements for EnergyStar certification went into effect last week, and while most manufacturers have a model or two that meets the updated regs, not a single shipping Mac qualifies. Apple’s taken a lot of heat in the past for its environmental policies, and while Steve’s blasted back with stats of his own and committed to steps like totally eliminating CCFL backlights in Apple displays, the loss of the something like EnergyStar certification isn’t going to sit so well with critics — or shareholders, for that matter. Manufacturers have until January to update their machines or lose the certification, so this isn’t a huge blow, but Apple’s been insistent that it’s more eco-conscious that other companies — looks like it’s put up or shut up time.

Looking at the Statistics, the file was created last October and updated today. Time for a 3rd update.

Firstly, there are 117 products listed, not 125. Secondly, there is no attempt to discover how products make it onto the list - did the EPA do exhaustive testing? Did they actually survey all available products on the market? Or are they dependent on manufacturers reporting compliant products? It is interesting that at least two Apple computers are compliant with the guidelines, clearly floppyhead didn't bother to even check, deciding that if Apple products weren't on the list, therefore none are compliant. Truly dreadful research, really. If this is meant to be journalism, it is a very poor article. Firstly, there are 117 products listed, not 125.
