Conservatives are rational, information-oriented. Content is a primary. Form or appearance is secondary, particularly in the world of computing.
Apple, under Steve Jobs, has always focused on form over function. And of course, that is why the self-described 'cool' people think that owning a iMac is superior to a standard PC.
If like Porsche, the engineering performance was beautifully integrated into a stunning appearance, I would be a major advocate, as I am with Porsche.
But compromising performance for looks is like choosing the slutty girl who will screw your best friend and sue for your hard-earned lifetime assets, over the girl next door who will care for you to your dying days and only ask for your affection.
There was a Steve at Apple that earned my respect in the early years. Wozniak was the kind of Steve that could, and did, change the world.
Jobs is a charlatan who wins the Hollywood crowd with color-changing computer cases, and loses the respect of everyone important. My bet - a flaming 'Rat who hates Bush.
I think you're on to something here. I would like to have a computer that would send a 150K surge of high voltage back along the transmission path of spam and fry the cable modem of the spammer who sent it. Hopefully, the backblast would get the spammer as well.
The Cherenkov radiation produced by said surge and the sizzling sound made by the spammer's electrocuted body would be as entertaining for me as any network TV show.

Bingo.
The core group of Apple users will think it's cool, though...the effete, snotty artiste types which Apple has to play to in order to survive.
There's a group like this in the PC world but the industry largely ignores them.
That's disgusting. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Can I come to your next party?
Does that mean Michael Jackson will have to go back to being black?
Real men wear boxers.
I wont mention the Bilderburgers.
Hold the pickles, please. They're a major cause of color change.
