The Science is in! iPad (or iProduct) owners are snobby elitists:

The Science is In… iPad Owners are Nothing but Elitist Snobs! Dvorak Uncensored: General interest observations and true web-log.

iPad Owners Are ‘Selfish Elites.’ Critics Are ‘Independent Geeks.’ Discuss. | Epicenter| Wired.com

Can this be true? Or is it just another shot in the Fruit bashing war?

Yup.

And now that I have my Leica tethering wirelessly to my iPad, I guess I'm the ultimate snob.

I don't know why people would think that just because I use superior apple equipment I would be snobby, I mean I can do EVERYTHING on my iDevices better than any product on the market and just because other people are too dense to realize there is no better product does not mean I am a snob. Jeeze the people who did this study must all be windows/blackberry users...what losers

I do have iPhone, iPad (that I won, didn't buy), and MacBook but they are def. not for everyone. I just like them cause they work well for me.

I'll put my new zEnterprise 196 up against anything - but editing pictures on a green screen it just not fun!

The zEnterprise 196 has 96 5.2 GH cores based on the new P7 chip (in Apple speak that would be a G7 - but since IBM wont share, there wont be a G7 chip).

fun machine, but I cant convince Adobe to make Photoshop for z/OS, but maybe it would run under z/Linux, who knows.

Just googled this to read up on what exactly it was and my head almost burst into flames trying to understand the techy aspects of the machine

But I think you can simply say it is a monster...except it is still not as good as my iPad
