    To mac lovers like myself raw processing power does not matter. It is nice that again the mac is kicking ass compared to the average PC, but that isn't too important. The thing is that the mac allows you to get your work done without crashing every 30 seconds. Macs let you work without needing to know anything about the stuff underneath, which is something that both windows and linux have been lacking. And it looks sexy too. I think that the fact that mac users find their computers sexy telling, as they love their machines, which is something that most users simply do not do.

    Zhe Mappel, you have opened my eyes, and your words drill down to my very essence. Fetishizing it is, but is fetish any different from art?

    No. Or perhaps yes, in that the fetish holds the greater power.

    I dare you to find me a man who enjoys the Mona Lisa a tenth as much as the fetishist enjoys a woman's shoe.

    Isn't it a bit like asking if modern cars are so good looking to cover up the fact that they don't fly?
