Study Concludes Macintosh Users More Likely to be Snobs
So somebody made a video that put Mac users on the spot. So what? The thing is, what the narrator is getting at is actually true.

can we actually stop making stupid BS studies like this and actually make studies that will do us some good in the world?

Of the many Mac users I know in South Africa, snobbery and teeth whitening are virtually unknown.:D
There's been plenty of news today and then you post this?...
:D
Must have bought a prebuilt lol
found that fitting . . .
That was funny. Sadly its kinda true. Steve markets "trendy" products and I'm sure thats why it fits.
This study is an extremely biased and stupid article, can't believe it made the news. I would actually report this for posting news that says Mac users more likely to be snobs, but it wouldn't go anywhere. Thanks Zek :toast: You :nutkick: Me :ohwell:
Bill Gates is typically "Dressed to impress" and Steve Jobs is typically more "informal is the normal"

Just me my views, anyways.
The point of that advertising is that the PC is for business, and the average Apple computer is for the casual. It's not to say hey I'm better than you...
