Sixty percent of Apple households say they keep finding more ways to use the Internet for fun, compared with 58 percent of the non-Apple group.

Oh brother.

I had fun reading these statistics. Does that count?

I use Macs. I like Macs. They are fine machines. But why are Mac devotees so insecure that they are constantly seeking affirmation of their superiority? It’s a machine people; a tool. It doesn’t define you. Get over yourselves.

I’m not cool enough to be a Mac person.

Plus Macs don't get this, then again neither have I.

“Mac home users are more active than Windows home users. They use their computers for a wider range of activities.”

Hope and change. How’s that working?

Maybe the converse of this is that Windows users have lives? Probably not exactly a valid conclusion, but no less valid than any other possible conclusion of this “so what” study.

Sad, all that time Mac users spend having fun on the Internet that they could spend having fun with other people in bed (or the car, the shower, the couch, whatever) like Windows users.

A Mac is expensive and rare, a PC is cheap and everywhere, for instance I imagine many more TV watching children have PCs than own Macs.

Also I’m sure many more grandparents are using PCs to check their emails rather than Macs.

This is like a study that shows that people that use a full dinner setting including a salad fork and soup spoon at every meal are healthier and less likely to be overweight than people that don’t.

macs... cute little vcrs.

as a professional software developer, i can tell you that the mac platform is tied with linux in porting priority (lower for non-server/backend stuff). why? simple. market size.

i know a couple of mac-jihadists that spaz whenever you mention ‘windows’ (kind of like saying ‘foxnews’ or ‘o’reilly’ to a liberal)... funny thing... these professionals have never made a dime writing software for the mac.

sure, some people do, somewhere... but i would equate making money writing software for the mac about the same as making money playing any sport. fun to play with, but only 0.0001% actually get paid to play.

Study: Mac fans use computers for a wider range of activities than Windows users

This is true. PC people use their computers for computing. Mac people use them for boosting insecure egos, propping up sagging manhood, attempting to feel superior, and also computing, if there is not too much math.

Sounds suspicious to me. Better check the DHS report.

Mac users buy them for audio, photo and video purposes. I know if I get one, it would probably mostly be used for audio purposes, not necessarily ripping my music. Probably the only time it would pass my door would be to record a jam session. Other than that, it most certainly would not go everywhere with me. The MSI Wind is a cheap Netbook I would get to take with me everywhere.

If I get a serious band going, the Mac would contain all our music in its raw, unmixed form. (I’d rather record analog)

I don’t know if this fits in or not... but I’ve heard about studies that say Macintosh users can manage to use a greater number (i.e., by “count”) of applications than Windows users.

It has to do with the user interface and the ease of use, across the board with many varied applications, making the learning curve a whole lot easier for Macintosh users, thereby contributing to them using a greater “number” of applications...

I remember it used to be said (by those “hard-core Mac-users”... LOL..) that using Mac programs without ever cracking open a manual was the sign of a true Mac User... :-)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. PC/Mac...Ford/Chevy

Which is better?

Fords blow up, Chevy goes bankrupt.

The bantering continues ad nauseum.
