Interesting discussion on bundling stands with the Apple monitor etc there. I actually think more technology will go the Ikea model here. Why buy crap you don’t need. Take going down the high street for a curtain rail for instance. You get a box with all the fittings. Most of it will get thrown away depending on what curtains you are using. Not very green. Go to any data centre and there will be a store room full of crap that gets shipped with servers etc that is never going to be used. In The UK for example every site has a mound of European power cables, a pile of monitor cables and often a load of stands. There will be a stack load of paper licences, legislatory brochures, quick assembly guides, rack mounts for racks that you don’t have in your DC. It is just not green, and we need to consider this more and more. So are Apple doing the right thing by stripping down what is in the box making the buyer choose exactly what they need? I think they are, and I also think we will see more companies going this route. Is it altruistic, no. If It helps reduce landfill then on the green front it has to be a good thing.

You know that you could use Twitch, right? I've had to use YT for like 2 shows since Jan because they were taken down by LMG.

I think it'll largely depend on the market segment.  Like monitors... I think consumer level, the cost of the stand vs the cost of two seperate product (stand and no stand) with inventory management, shelf space, dealing with customers who buy the wrong thing, won't be worth it, but on the pro level we're talking about with this mac monitor..it becomes a lot more pheasable, especially as your doing more purchase orders with sales reps, rather than someone walking into a store and grabbing off the shelf.

I do agree. The end user will eventually have to get the idea though. With a world needing to become more green we will see suppliers wanting to show they are doing their part. Like Ikea have shown, customers will get the concept.

This one is listed and with more views, that one must be the edited version

That whole Xeon / ECC conversation Linus had (12:20 - 12:40-ish) really reminds me of Idiocracy.
