    They need to have google.slashdot.org and then people could block this stuff. Better yet, pointless-google-stories.slashdot.org as well as google.slashdot.org so we could seperate out the true trash from the slightly overrated trash that the editors have been pushing lately.

  13. The Mac Demographic by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apple's customers are like no others--a rich blend of the most sociologically elite with those seeking elegant, simple computing... Unlike users of Intel/Windows computers, a significant portion of Apple's users are active , exploratory , avant-garde and early adopters . The activities they enjoy are unique in the way that they more often incorporate rich media such as video and music as well as more active prosumer behavior than many more passive Windows [and Linux] users.
