Study Finds Mac Users Self-Centered, Validation-Needy, Etc.
"Are you self-centered, arrogant or conceited? Do you have a strong need for recognition? You must have a Mac, according to new research."
The above video says people with an open personality (eh?) are 60 percent more likely to own a Mac.
More factoids: Mac users generally consider themselves superior to PC users. They are more likely to use teeth whitening products, buy organic food, purchase more shoes (an average of five pairs last year), frequent Starbucks and drive a hybrid car.
They also pay for music they find on the internet (50 percent versus 16 percent of PC users). (Scoff.)
The study was conducted by Mindset Media, which surveyed 7500 Mac and PC users. Thanks for the link, Candace.

Pshaw... well, I'm better than those people. (And of course I'm a Mac user.)
Macs are just more conducive for creative endeavors.
I was actually thinking of buying teeth whitener yesterday afternoon. I bought nail polish instead. (There are many ways to be a self-centered Mac user.)
wooot.
I've got all the Mac symptoms, and no Mac. I'll get there someday...
Better than a Mac for creative endeavors:
Donkeys
Nails (the kind you hammer)
Midgets (not to be confused with Dwarfs)
Dwarfs
Antarctica
Tasers
4-7 Floor Parking Garages
Cougars (the kind you find at bars like "The Quiet Woman")

Well, those are a few off the top of my head. You don't need a Mac to be creative. You do need one to look creative, however.
Macs are for people with no 'real life' skills, and for people that are slightly retarded. A PC can do so much more that a mac can, and with a little intelligence a PC can be made to be conducive to anything.
They're freaking computers people. Computers. Really, they are.
They might be just computer, but by in large Liberals have chosen the Mac, and normal people have chosen the PC. It's just one more arena for the political battle to be fought in.
Actually, I'm a "Liberal", and yet I won't touch a Mac with a ten-foot pole.
"Normal people"? Kind of arrogant, aren't we?
