No really that article is shitty... as if they Ian Fried is trying to compensate for something... is that said EAN or EYE-AN? That will tell you right there. ;)Originally posted by c0nv3r9
Okay... this post can be deleted at any time... I just needed to rant about how stupid the research/article was and how flawed their findings were in the way they used them. Mac users are good folk. I would own one myself if I could afford an ibookLeave a comment:

The article points out:
Mac users (all 7-12% of them, depending on the research you believe) are more likely to be more educated.. not necessary more capable with the computer.
This 'smartness' is actually measured by how long they have been online (5 years, wtf?), how likely they are to make shitty useless webpages that can barely be viewed without seizing, and how much or how likely they buy stuff online.
The research group then proceeded to cream out that this makes this demographic exceptionally perfect to spam and ream up the ass with advertisements that cause them to spend money... (or did I read that quote right?)
Mac users are more likely to have money, as the systems cost considerably more. (which could lead some to wonder about how much the 'smartness' transfers into finances).. but other things come into play when more money is involved, like better schooling, etc.. (but not always! this was a nasty random generalization)
People that use Macs are more likely to surf the web with them.. which means all those other PCs not surfing the web and buying stuff online... they must not be hooked up with the aol yet right?

personally I have known more gay mac owners and gay pc owners and always thought this was the national trend.
The articles "Are Mac users smarter? " does not mention what it defines as smarter though it enforces that mac owners are more likely to have a strong education and more buying power than those who are not mac owners. In the end, I bet there are more gay mac owners than "smarter" mac owners...Leave a comment:

I too am in the SLC with ya - I am a closet mac-whore myself. I support them at work - too poor to own one though. Just know your not alone.
I like to show people this article too:

I own a few Macintosh computers. I parted with my first computer a while ago by donating it to my little brother. He then had the house raided and the computer confiscated for some time. Its back home now with him. In the NVU meetings there were also a large majority of Mac people also. IVU does have quiet a few Mac people at it (: Imma get bw to switch someday, actually i feel him switching on his own without my help :)Leave a comment:
