saw the moment as a golden opportunity to propose marriage to his partner of four years, Uschi.

For the first few paragraphs I was wondering if this was another "normalizing gay marriage" story.

“I proposed to her with candlelights leading to my Mac in my apartment. I was on bended knee beside her, ring in my hand. There were tears, there was laughter, there was my G5. It was awesome,”

Okay. Now I feel icky.

(Reminds me of my now-wife being extremely bitchy at one point while we were dating and threatening to get breast implants for the computer that I was ignoring her for. She still thinks that's a riot.)

Too bad he can't "time-lapse" the next few months of arguements over invitations, sites, number of guests, cost, DJ or band, etc...........

“I snuck out of bed without her noticing and went down to the store again with a marker and some poster papers and proposed to the love of my life,” he told Macworld.

She confessed: “I was expecting the proposal to be incredibly romantic, just knowing his style. I should have suspected it would involve a Mac since I know that is his second love. On May 22 at 11:30 PM, he set up the apartment with a romantic trail of candles leading up to his Power Mac G5, where he had me watch the video online for the first time.”

This does not strike me as "incredibly romantic", with or without the Power Mac G5. I am old-fashioned enough to think that one should propose marriage—and get married—before jumping into the sack with the "love of your life."
