Why are progressives much more likely to use a Mac than conservatives?

But on the software side, the share of the market held by Apple's OS X operating system looks tiny beside Microsoft's behemoth. It's even smaller on conservative web sites. When it comes to visitors to Instapundit, OS X visitors make up only 2-3%, suggesting that conservatives are less likely to go for the Apple brand than the general public. On the other hand, Daily Kos statistics show that between 15% and 25% of visitors to this site are using Macs -- an astounding 5x times the general population of these computers. If you were at YearlyKos last time around, you could spot more Macs at breakfast than you'd find in an Apple store.

So here's a question: why? Why do liberals like Macs, while conservatives shun them?

Followed by a bunch of theories.

Oh, and a couple years back someone noted that TV and movie villains usually used PCs and the good guys usually used Macs.

Wee little earthquake.

Everything still in one piece, Aimee?

Oh yeah.

It felt like our yard manager decided to ram the building with the forklift.

Because that's a thing that's happened?

It's construction. It happens.

Ah-kay.

t still thinks there are some sublimated issues at work

Huh, didn't feel it at all up here in Pasadena.

JPL probably has some secret anti-quake field going on.

Ha!

This week can totally fuck itself. I managed to sleep through the two Skype calls from my sister telling me my father was going into hospital unexpectedly.

He's in at least overnight while they run tests. Any hope at all I had of focussing or getting much done today is pretty well shot.
