“Mac Owners Are Snobs” and in other unrelated news, I got a MacBook Air

Date February 17, 2008 by alex

Its true. I did. Hooray! So far (apart from a couple of initial wrinkles - i.e. runaway kernel_tasks which I think I discovered the root of) I love it. I will post a more thorough review in the next few days.

In the meantime, check out this study by Mindset Media, that found that Mac users are “snobs” (and PC users are “cheapskates”) along with being more likely to:

* to be perfectionists
* to use notebooks
* to use teeth whitening products
* to drive station wagons
* to pay for downloaded music
* to go to Starbucks
* care about “green” products and the environment
* to own a hybrid car
* and last but not least … to buy 5 pairs of sneakers in a year

Ha ha… ha? (I think I *may* hit 5-7 of those… which ones? you’ll never know!!)
