Apple Launches “Responsible” Recycling Program

Posted on by Posted in Hardware, Special Offers

Apple RecyclingBeginning today, Apple will offer “free, responsible recycling” of any of its products at any Apple Store. This initiative is part of Tim Cook’s ambition to “leave the world better than we found it.”

Sure, it’s good for the Earth to reuse and recycle computer components whenever possible, but what’s in it for you? Well, if the product you recycle is found to be reusable, Apple will give you a store gift card for use against new purchases at Apple online and physical stores. If the product can’t be reused, Apple will recycle it at no cost to the user. That’s a pretty good deal all the way around.

Apple also announced that it plans to hold special recycling events where they will accept other companies’ products, though no other details have been released at this point. You can learn more about Apple’s recycling program and its stance on environmental responsibility here.

12 daysAs if the Christmas season isn’t wonderful enough, Apple has launched its annual “12 Days of Gifts” app, through which it will be giving away a game, book, movie, song, book, or some other digital gift to iOS 7 users, free of charge, each of the 12 days between December 26 and January 6.

Although Apple has offered this giveaway in certain European and Asian countries for the past few years, this marks the first time that users here in the United States can participate. While no one knows exactly what will be included, you certainly can’t beat the price. Get your app by clicking here.

Rocket Matter Celebrating 5th Anniversary and Giving Away Prizes

Rocket Matter, the world’s best law office management program, has announced that in celebration of its fifth anniversary, it is kicking off a year-long celebration and giving away iPads, Android Tablets, and Kindle Fire devices to celebrate the occasion and their commitment to mobile lawyering.

I remember the first time I ever spoke with Rocket Matter’s CEO Larry Port back in the Fall of 2007, when he called me to discuss an upcoming legal software product that he claimed would revolutionize the industry.  He asked if I would be interested in checking it out for my firm, and I agreed.  When Rocket Matter launched in late February 2008, we were on board from day one, and we’ve been with them ever since.

Discussing this milestone, Larry says

It’s been a great ride so far, and we’re just getting started. We’re committed to making the lives of attorneys a whole lot easier, and the best way to do that is to keep improving the product and get more mobile devices into their hands.  Our Five-Year Celebration of Legal Mobility aims to do just that.

If you haven’t taken a look at Rocket Matter yet (or recently), take a few minutes to do so.  It has really improved our efficiency and as a result made us better lawyers, and it can do the same for your firm too.  You can also get more information about their tablet giveaways can be found on their website.  Again, happy anniversary from The Mac Lawyer to my friends at Rocket Matter, and may you have many many more years of success!

I Am TechnoEsq – Are You?

ABA Techshow was last week.  It was a great show and I had a good time, but there was a glaring absence this year.  My buddy Finis Price was not there.  Well, he was not physically there, but he was certainly there in spirit and on the minds of the attendees.

In an effort to raise money for Finis’ widow, Heather, a group of Finis’ friends produced 200 limited edition “I Am TechnoEsq” buttons specifically for Techshow.  While we sold approximately one-half of them in Chicago, some are left and available for purchase for those unable to attend Techshow.

The buttons are $20.00 each, and 100% of the proceeds will go to Heather.  If you want a button (and who wouldn’t), you can simply mail a check for $20.00 (or more if you are so moved) to me (Ben Stevens, The Stevens Firm, P.A., 1188 Asheville Highway, Spartanburg, SC 29303) and be sure to include your shipping address.

Finally, I want to extend a special, heartfelt thank you to all of those who helped in this worthwhile project.  Specifically, I’d like to thank Mark Unger for coming up with the original idea, Larry Port for designing and ordering the buttons, and Randy Juip, Victor Medina, and Matt Homann for helping sell the buttons in Chicago.  You guys are the best!
