Study Concludes Macintosh Users More Likely to be Snobs

While this "snob factor" at first sounds like a bunch of fanboyish humor, studies conducted nationwide found that Mac users fit into a ton of stereotypes. The simple version of the conlusion: Mac users are, generally speaking, "self centered, arrogant and conceited." To back up these extreme conclusions, there are studies out there showing that Mac users are...

![]() Must be an American thing. Of the many Mac users I know in South Africa, snobbery and teeth whitening are virtually unknown.

I think this was an excellent post, Good job Zek! its cool to see what studies they do. Its funny how some of those stereotypes are definitely true of the mac users I know. But theirs nothing wrong with organic food and being ecofriendly. PC FTW! I like the 16% legal music downloads on pc vs macs 50% LOL!
GO PC USERS!

How is that fitting? Showing Bill Gates in a suit and Steve Jobs in regular clothes (by the way that's horrible photoshop by the author of that). Anyhow, if i was judging this, I would say the guy in the suit with a wire is a snob. IF anyone is a snob in that picture, it's the guy in the suit, visually speaking.
This study is an extremely biased and stupid article, can't believe it made the news. I would actually report this for posting news that says Mac users more likely to be snobs, but it wouldn't go anywhere. Thanks Zek You Me

I think mac users are more like the way they are cause the mac is so dumbed-down and simplified it only does basic shit so they're more free to do what they want... but pc's you get all these features and options and shit it can make your head spin if you don't know what you're doing.

Bill Gates is typically "Dressed to impress" and Steve Jobs is typically more "informal is the normal" as to the snob thing - I don't really see suits as snobs. But, my first impression of those who are dressed "trendy" or "preppy" is typically that of them being snobish. Just me my views, anyways.
