Kim Jong-Un Found To Be Mac User
jones_supa writes: He might hate the United States, but he sure digs those designed-in-California computers. You probably wouldn't take Kim Jong-un as a Mac user. Usually, in photos of him checking out military computers, we see the North Korean dictator in front of a PC with a Dell monitor. However, a handful of photos of the supreme leader at his own desk show him with Macs, leading to the assumption that while the military may use PCs, his personal preference is Mac. Reuters correspondent James Pearson, who covers both Koreas, tweeted out a fresh image of little Kim using a MacBook Pro inside an aircraft. There are other images, including a 2013 image of Kim Jong-un at his desk with an iMac. That same year, the South Korean newspaper Chosun published a photo from North Korean Central News Agency, which features an Apple iMac. This might also explain why the country's home-grown Linux distribution Red Star imitates OS X.
I had no idea he was gay.
Trolling is a art,
Seems he and his dad and granddad implemented that slogan a bit too literally.
Macs are still the best platform for manipulating photos and videos, right?
It could be worse, it could be Monday.
To be fair, before he got a Mac, Kim had a Linux machine. He gave up when he couldn't get the audio drivers to work. I heard on the news that he had a bunch of his kernels executed.
You are welcome on my lawn.
The Pyongyang Apple store has 1 big customer. He certainly thinks different.
The guy is absolute ruler and head of a cult of personality in one of the most insular walled, er, 'gardens' on earth; so why wouldn't he be a Mac user?
