Steve Jobs and Apple lean left? Well knock me over with a feather.
I’ll bet the majority of all Apple users lean left also.
I find it odd and sad that people identify with machines.
I wonder if people identify with their toasters or coffee makers the same as they do with their computers or motorcycles?
I doubt anyone has a jacket with a logo of a Braun coffee maker or Sunbeam waffle iron on the back.
Aaaaagreed!
At the end of the day, it’s only a tool. It’s an OS, not a reigion. Or a cult.
But I could be wrong on that last one.
Microsoft leans just as far left as Apple. Do a search on Opensecrets.org for Microsoft employee contributions for evidence.
There are a lot of fanboys for any tech product. I think it comes from internalizing the justification for spending thousands on a fancy computer.
“I’ll bet the majority of all Apple users lean left also.”
It’s more of an age and income thing than anything else. Young, professional conservatives rock the MacBook from my college and work experience.
People use Apples because they started out with them and PCs feel awkward. Many Apple users have learning-curve issues. But artists generally prefer Apples, even when their art businesses make them use PCs.
Yeah, unlike that arch-conservative Bill Gates, who spends his free time hanging out with Bill Clinton and Bono.
Just about every pioneer in desktop computers was a hippie at heart. That was the driving force -- power to the people. Take computers, once the exclusive franchise of big companies, and give them to everyone.
Does Bill Gates lean left?
Silly!
God, I'll be shunned. O the horror. I was gifted today with a Starbucks stainless steel coffee mug and a pre-ordered family pack copy of 10.5 Leopard. Gasp!
