This is complete BS. I think CNN got free apple stuff for writing up this "article."

Mac vs. PC: The stereotypes may be true

(CNN) -- Remember those Apple ads that cast the Mac as a 20-something, self-satisfied hipster while the PC was portrayed by an older, square-looking guy in a brown suit?

Well, those characterizations, unfair as they may be, appear to have some truth to them.

If anything, it was the "hip" kid that built his own PC, dragged it to lan parties and 'tricked it out' with strange case mods.

The mac user was the chubby yuppie guy at the store that looked down his nose at PCs and always liked to mention the 'superior stability' and graphics of his mac G-5 whatever. LOL

must be a slow date at the Muslim haters society.

Just like the rest of your post.

Apple lovers?

He's right. Telling people about my PC's tricked out case mods gets me all the girls at the parties.

Bah. All the people I've seen play CS and such are skinny young guys.

Mac people I've encountered? The thick glasses pudgy-suit type.

Linux and windows and others (too many to mention) = PC

PC > Mac by infinity.


Linux/mac story from last week:
My teacher wanted to illustrate something so he asked us what OS we ran.

He pointed at my laptop and asked, "Windows Vista? or Xp?" I answered, "Ubuntu".
My teacher scrunched his face at me, still pointing at my laptop as if frozen, then clarified what he meant by operating system. I then replied cautiously, trying not to sound condescending, "I'm running an OS called Linux." He said, "Ohhh... You're running Apples?" I put my hands up trying to draw a penguin and said, "uh.. oh no! It's a penguin." I looked like an idiot. He turned away when I said penguin... he probably was thinking, "he just said penguin at me... crazy weirdo.."

computer savvy. hehehe.

sure. show me a mac guy who knows how to fix his own computer or knows how to reinstall his operating system. then i'll consider them savvy

Show me a Mac guy that knows how to build his own mac from scratch...Oh, right, can't do that with macs...

All mac users know how to do this: Just give Apple more money. I think that's how you do anything on an Apple product anyway.

I think they were poking fun at stodgy old Bill Gates and Microsoft with that ad. You notice how John Hodgman kinda looks like Mr. Gates.
