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.
