Hilarious video about a recent survey. Most things that they found are quite obvious though. Mac users were found to be more liberal, socially and politically. They are arrogant, into flashy fashions and teeth whitening. Also, though they tried to paint it as a positive, they state that 70% of Mac users were happy with their purchase, but this really means that 30% of the people that bought Saint Steve's super-awesome-wonderful-all mighty Mac computers were NOT happy with them.

Rush uses Mac’s.
He said the same thing several weeks ago regarding the ‘snobery’ when he calls technical support.

As opposed to the about 90% of Vista users who hated their OS.

I'll generalize further -

LIBERALS HAVE to be arrogant. It's all they have.

Concur.

I am with IT tech support for a major university. The mac users are mostly elitist professors - their computers are ivory towers just like their users, cut off from the outside world and in their own little realms.

Pretty graphics, but all the computing power of a falling brick.

I don’t mind the Mac OS, but if I were ever to purchase one, it wouldn’t be for membership into the ‘Mac superiority society.’ It would be because I would need it to do something the my PCs don’t. Which means, I have yet to find a reason to switch.

“Mac Owners Have Something to be Snobby About* “

Really?
So, a simple choice of a tool is sufficent to justify arrogance?

Thus the logic of a typical Mac user.
