The Street: "Mac Owners Are Snobs"
According to a recent The Street video, they say that Mac users are "snobs." The video, which is based on research by Mindset Media says that Mac owners are more likely:- 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

i love this. and i really don't mind nailing down so many of the "stereotypes" of this whole situation. over the past couple of weeks, it seems like everyone's posting about this video, and the study...i find it all entertaining, and simultaneously quite silly. either you are some (or all) of these things, or not.
but, just for fun... http://stuffmacgeekslike.wordpress.com

I love the environment.
I usually get 2 pairs of sneakers every year.
I don't drive. Too young.
Don't have a car.
I pay for music because I don't like getting prosecuted.
I don't use notebooks.(I do use notebook computers.)
I brush my teeth every day.
Not really a perfectionist.
