Mac Users Have Different Brains


Numberzz

A study of over 7500 people showed that Mac users actually think very differently than their PC counterparts. The study itself showed that, in fact, Mac users were more liberal, less modest, and "and more assured of their own superiority than the others of the population." Yes, that last bit is true. It seems that Mac users are more receptive to feelings, so that they can feel joy and sadness more intensely. Also, the research firm said that people who are open minded are more than 60% more likely to buy a Mac.

So where's the study that shows us that the Windows fanboys (yeah, they exist. You know them.) are a bunch of closed minded, stubborn gits? :)

 

(hint: they're the ones who still complain about Macs having one mouse button and link to that video with the guy bashing the iMac G3 with it's handle being for use as a boat anchor as the absolute truth and an accurate depiction of the computers of today)

 

PS: If you take this post seriously, you're part of the problem. :D

Settle down children!

 

 

The article states that mac users are open minded and live in the current if not future standards, good example would be, well they decided to purchase mac over a pc. Weather it was the structure or the gesture, they did.

 

And self-hating PC users are just stuck in the 90's of Gate's ford focus momentum.

 

 

me like mac.

 

And enough with the {censored} jokes!, i mean we all registered at this forum!

Dumb article. That's like saying you can find the difference between those that like pepsi and those that like coke. IN reality, people get different computers for various reasons.

no but seriously macs are way to expensive and.. not alot of software (xcept for the stuff that starts with "I")..

not to mention gaming..

 

so that are the main reasons I dont own one.. that and the fact that in my country you cant find a place to buy a mac except if you order it from the capital city.. anyhow.. I like to upgrade the components myself.. I just go around the corner to a store and buy them like groceries :D)

 

ps: gonna try leopard on vmware tho.. :P

hackintosh users, use booth sides of the brain,...

otherwise they could not get it to run, aka core duo,...

 

average human is using 3% of the brain,.....

dolphin is using 100% of the brain, at sleep alternates brain sides,

so is still at 50% at sleep,....

 

other interesting fact, that monkeys are not our closest relatives,...

dolphins are, by magnitude,.... monkeys are as close to humans, as pigs to horses,...

 

these guys, isn't it the right side of the brain, the creative side ?

More like 60% of Mac users are brainwashed (thinking Mac's dont get viruses, they're super easy, etc.) They CAN get viruses, and they're easy depending on the person.

As a mac user, I take offence to that.

 

Mac users are not {censored}, Mac BUYERS are {censored} :P

 

What about OSX86 users? I think this group is definitely superior. There are mac users, there are windows users, then there are OSX86 users who are superior. Linux users are not people , they're droids, so they don't count.

If they did a study self declared Apple lovers who only bought iMacs(as in their reason for hating everything pee'cee), far more hilary would be ensured. Massive superiority complex, yet so dumb that even a test not targeting it picks it up.

Well, I am a {censored} Mac user, and none of you homophobic idiot posters here come close to being better than the lowliest {censored} Mac user.

 

Dude....wtf are you talking about. Ever heard of sarcasm?

The "{censored}" reply was obviously intended as a way to say the obvious. Which is "WHAT THE F#&K IS THIS WHOLE STUDY ABOUT?"

 

They are trying to convince people that people using one calculator are better than people using another one. The endless Apple communities search for superiority. :wacko:

 

If one would keep both feet on the ground and stop investigating BS the world would be a better place. Why should anyone feel better than someone else anyways?

 

I'm almost ashamed of running OSX if i see such total nonsense on the web....... I have my reasons for choosing OSX, feeling superior is not one of them i can tell you.

I do know some Mac users that think they are ever so interesting because they own a mac. Never did understand this......Is one superior to another when they own something else? How?

Some people don't have a choice, or not the financial means to own a mac......do we call these people inferior because their financial situation is different? That's what i would call some real narrow minded thinking!!!!

 

Good luckwith this investigation....i'm going back to the real world where people judge you by your personality instead of by what you own. And if this investigation tells the truth....Mac owners are superior asses. Feeling superior is a sign being narrow minded to begin with...........

 

What really keeps surprising me is how money keeps being spend on these kinds of surveys.

 

Besides all this it's just too much fun replying to Mac fanboys and getting them all excited about defending their macs. Like anyone cares if you use Windows or OSX. It's not one of the truly important things in life afaik. :(

Yes, I agree 100%. This is like Ferrari or Lamborghini owners are superior then BMW ones. (No offense to BMW or other car brands owners - I have no car, I only give an example).

I'm not too opened mind like that :(

 

about those superiority fell, its true loolollolo I have the tic by playing with some of my friends winbob users talking about how sucks windows are, mac is a sacred doctrine from the olympian divines! :D

 

But the most common fell what a mac user can has is the sense of sophistication and stay in cmd/control, the fell to having wings and can fly.

It's all part of a guerilla marketing campaign.

 

Let loose the info that Mac owners are hipper, smarter and generally more highly evolved than their M$-using bretheren and others who are suggestible to the whole Apple "buying into a lifestyle" marketing ethos will go out and buy a Mac so they too can be hip, smart and ubercool.

 

Of course, this illusion of hipness only applies to those in the "inner circle" of Macness, and the illusion is maintained by those who belong to it by playing loud music on thier iPods and singing "na naaaa can't hear you!" when you try to point out the patently obvious, the patently obvious being that buying into such things for the above reasons comes across as being rather sad.

 

Apple. The Scientology of computing. You have to be out of it to see into it.

Glad a study finally proves it. Imagine the outcry if a conservative ever said they were superior!!!

var 1, 2, 3;var a,b,c;var d,e,f;a = "{censored} AS HELL!!!";b = "BISEXUAL!!!";c = "transvestite!!!";1 = "MAC user + MAC buyer"; 2 = "MAC user && PC user (at the same time)" ;3 = "Hackingtosh user + MAC user + PC user";d = 1+a;e = 2+b;f = 3+c;if (d <= e || e>=d || e<=f || f>=d){ " YOU JUST A CONFUSED DUMB ASS";}

So, this article is trying to say that the majority of Mac users are {censored}?
var 1, 2, 3;var a,b,c;var d,e,f;a = "{censored} AS HELL!!!";b = "BISEXUAL!!!";c = "transvestite!!!";1 = "MAC user + MAC buyer"; 2 = "MAC user && PC user (at the same time)" ;3 = "Hackingtosh user + MAC user + PC user";d = 1+a;e = 2+b;f = 3+c;if (d <= e || e>=d || e<=f || f>=d){ " YOU JUST A CONFUSED DUMB ASS";}

Riiiight, a survey done by a advertisement company who claims themselves as psychologists... hmmm, I'm wondering who paid for the survey: hint hint (something start with "a" and end with "e"?)

 

 

You can see the hilarity of this study if you replace OS with washing machine. "Study shows that users of certain washing machine have more sex."

"...more assured of their own superiority"

 

Mac users aren't superior. They may use a nice platform, but using a computer won't get you a nobel prize. Sorry. If having more disposible income makes you superior, then even His Infernal Majesty Mr Jobs has to bow at the feet of Mr Gates.

 

Are people really THAT materialistic?
