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”.

*neowin.net/

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

^^What ?? Bhai thoda puntuations bhi use kar lo

Are Mac users snobs?

Yes, they r

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

^^ so should be the FOSS assholes

.. they spread FUD :lol:

..

Apart from them, hardcore FOSS users and ignorant MS fanboys form the other half of the "snobs".....

Macboys are great and smart-thats the truth

I feel some people doesnt like the growth of FOSS

I can understand their hard feeling :lol:

BUT:
THE TRUTH IS,UNLIKE M$HAFT OR APPLE,FOSS DONT HAVE ANY ADS GOING ON 24/7.I FEEL IT IS MY DUTY TO SPREAD FOSS AWARENESS!SO,IN MY POSTS,I WILL TRY MAXIMUM TO SPREAD FOSS.BE IT THROUGH SIGGY OR MY POSTS IN ALL FORUMS !BITE IT!IF U CANT DIGEST GO FCUK URSELF!

LOL look the cats talking about ads :lol:

.. 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..

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.

whats going on here.... looks like digit forum is turning into a wrestling arena.. lol

N

well i think criticising people who use something other than you is dumb enough and no matter if its lin or Win or Mac

IM from Charan:

* I want a permenent ban .. with all my posts removed.. I dont care anymore
* send PM to fatbeing and ask him to go ahead and delete everything
* no forum.. no more comunity service..

*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/26a.gif

N

^ dont do that !!
instead delete all such threads and topics

chat log me and charan

charan: screw foss.. check my siggy
Manan Kakkar: u serious
charan: yes im freaking serious..
Manan Kakkar: wat happnd al of a sudden
charan: im leaving digit.. I hope that im banned permently from digit..
charan: I cant stand anymore
Manan Kakkar: wat happnd
charan: im just pised off from foss users

@nish, why

This FOSS and Apple Fanboys are creating a huge mess instead of creating awareness.... funky... this is not good. Shame on those kinda people.

N

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...

N

^ 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

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.

The only solution is to STOP FEEDING TROLLS; be it Win, Lin or Mac guys.

Just come back my friend

Guys just end it here. What Kniwor wrote is 100% right.

Well Mac users are a bit of a snob

. But you can't blame them. Macs are really nice. And when you have something really nice, you do become a bit of a snob.

(Disclaimer: The above post is not made with any particular member in mind. Any similarity to any member living, dead, writing Mac blogs, moderator or eating grapes is purely a coincidence.)

^ agree...

but don't start again

Rofl..

BTW wat happened to Charan???
And yea all fanboys suck.. Use what you like. Some fanboys behave as if the company has hired them to talk/post bullsh1t.

@krazy- LOL

Well I like all the members here. For example let me specify some names:
infra_red_dude, iMav, Charan, Gigacore, praka123, rayraven, Aryayush, goobimama, gaurav_indian, aravind_n20, drgrudge, Vishal Gupta, anandk and the list is endless. Oh and there's Asfaq too

Don't gett annoyed if I forgot to mention your name! I can't mention all the members here

Although I admit sometimes I get pissed off by the fanboy attitude of some of the members but all of them are masters of their respective OS category. So in the end they(we) all are part of the Digit Forum & I guess friends too!

So guys have fun, chill out, drink water

@narangz, peace

Yeah peace... Par apun to pehle hi thanda hai

Nice Wally

^ lol

thanks

What the F*** is this bullsh!t ? There is exess of FUDs from all parties. FOSS guys FUDing about Windows and Mac, MacBoys FUDing about Windows and Linux, and Windows FanBoys FUDing about Linux and Mac. This is utterly riddiculous.

I chose Linux as a personal choice, based on technical merits, not on FOSS promotion. I prefer windows for gaming not because I am a Windows FanBoy but because I Find it having better titles.

Now All that is ruined. If you have strike in one direction, there is a Counter-Strike from another direction. Even guys from Ubuntu forums agree that Ubuntu is not everything. There are hardly any fanboys there. Only Practical Minded Geeks.

Will you guys please stop giving opportunities to everybody for attacking each other ?

Grow some Fu**ing brains before you get BrainWashed. I regret overdosing on these fanboy comments now.

damn this thread, atleast in our OS wars we respected each other but this is like no holds barred

cmon guys the OS wars arent something personal (not literally)

we all are friends here no matter what OS we use and thats a fact so can we please stop using the abusive tone as this is far more worse/ugly and personal than the OS wars

Don't you think it's irony that none of the Mac users posted in this thread? From what I see, it's either Win/*nix who post thread trying to provocate ("Where are the Mac boys?").

@charan, (some one pass it along if he's no logging any longer)
We love you(r Posts). Please don't leave the forums.

In the best interests of all the members, I'm closing this thread.

*sigh*....These guys leave to chance to draw the weapons...
