Let me get this straight. This is not about a company actually being gay-friendly, but about how gays perceive the company for whatever dumb ass reason? Not to be harsh, but how is this relevant to people who don’t give a damn what gays think? I know, you post all Apple news, and this does qualify.
Maybe they just think Jobs looks cute in that turtleneck.
I went Mac, but that is wrong as a blanket statement. Sometimes Mac isn't the best choice for a specific situation.
You are right, of course.
I was tired and cranky, and didn’t have my head plugged in!
I always pick an Exxon station over any others when there's a choice, and for this reason exactly.
Oh boy, donuts!
Start learning to like Vaseline?
OK, I just have to defend the Mac users here and Apple in general. I use a Windows based PC every single day but I am a former Mac-Devotee from the early 90s and only converted because my client base had already purchased their massive inventory of PCs (think largest oil company in the world and other such clients in the energy and technology sectors). This is just silly. Apple makes kick-a$$ products and that’s all there is to it. Apple does not overtly promote or affiliate themselves as “gay friendly.” Yes, many people who provide creative services use Macs and the “arts” has a higher percentage of gay people than say “developers” but I personally would draw the line there ... unless there is concrete proof from Apple that they are gay-friendly like Disney??
I’ve got an Intel Imac, an intel macbook, an 80 gig ipod with video and an 8gig Iphone.
BUT, if you’ve ever been to macrumors.com it’s a slight step above DU. Read the “political” discussions only after taking your high blood pressure meds. Otherwise lots of good info there.
