Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so
Think you’re cool with your MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, or Mac Pro? US stock Market news site “The Street” has news for you: they think you’re a snob!
Time for some light hearted fun that hardcore Mac users might not appreciate. Mac news site “Insanely Great Mac” has uncovered a video clip from stock market news site, “The Street” ,guaranteed to send any touchy ‘superior’ Mac fanboi into such a lather they might start seeing spinning beach balls of death wherever they go, although many of the uncovered traits are quite complementary.
Taken from research conducted by Internet advertising research firm Mindset Media , Insanely Great Mac says that the research “found Mac users to be more liberal, less modest and more assured of their own superiority”.
Mac users strong enough to watch The Street’s video clip without getting so offended they’ll smash their screen will discover the 2 minute and 18 second video says the following: Mac users “self centred, arrogant, conceited”. Out of the Mindset Media study of 7500 Mac and PC users, “Mac users do really think they are superior”. They think they are “self important, extraordinary and more intellectually curious”.

Re: Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so
we dont need a research to tell us that; talk to 1 even via a forum and u get that
also if i might add the same goes for *nix users only difference other than cool they think they are intellectually more powerful

Re: Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so
dedicated M$ users should be added too 
GNU/Linux/BSD guys are modest and helpful in nature even though they are NOT geeks necessarily.FOSS guys loves freedom and propagates the message of get free from the hands of monopolies like M$haft and apple
They are NOT here to kick the a$$ of ignorant ppl  as someone got in his siggy

Re: Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so
LOL look the cats talking about ads .. if one counts .. there are more ads on L!nux and FOSS going on than W!ndows or Apple.. in this forum. Its ones duty to spread FOSS awareness but not talk bullshit or be on only one moto .. break its competetiors.. FOSS Fanboys are even evil than M$.. they spread all wrong info about the competitor.. .. if you cant digest that .. then go Ƒuck YOURSELF .. or YOUR CAT..

Re: Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so
Personality of user groups is not really tech related. Why don't we go to chit-chat.
Also let me warn you guys before u start flaming again.

Re: Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so

Re: Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so
 not favouring him...
coz FOSS\Mac\Win would still be there and forced like Hitler's rule by some members no matter if he stays or not.so thats why i m saying this..
The only solution to such topics is to use what you like and stop pretending like you own the company itself

bullsh1t.. is this a software war or World War ? Thats too harsh... will report if u repeat the same.
Even a OS war must have certain set of limits.. but u are comparing it with hitller's rule...

Re: Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so
^ did i target u ? no
every OS has its limits and everyone uses the one which suits the most to him/her..so what i m trying to say is not to start a war in every thread and just be cool
coz every OS thread in this forum has at least one or 2 posts against that OS

Re: Are Mac users snobs? “The Street” thinks so
I live in the weak and the wounded.
cant think anything else better than this, return to the forum Charan, just ignore the things, there were many moments of tragedy in my life too but these things never made it to them, only the cold blooded survives.
