Linux is prohibitive in the technological sense whereas Mac's are prohibitive in an economic sense. Both of these 'limitations' will appeal to a 'smarter' population.
As much as this doctor accuses his peers and the drug companies of inventing ADHD because they want to profit from it; the same accusation could be made against him for creating a conspiracy theory to pray on the weak.
ADHD is a myth? Invented by drug companies and shrinks? That sounds rather paranoid. In the medical field, it is commonly accepted that it exists. To disregard all the research that has been put into it is silly. Do you think migraines are a myth as well? Your objection seems to be to the way ADHD is dealt with.
You propose that children "learn" to have a 30 second time span via exposure to the rapid topical changes on television. One aspect that is common in many people with ADHD is an ability to "hyperfocus" on a task. These tasks need not be television or other "eye-candy" type activities. It could be art, reading a book, legos, tasks you may think an ADHD person couldn't do. From my experience with ADHD, the attention given seems to be extreme or nothing at all.
Put in the right situation, someone with ADHD can flourish. I think the problem is that ADHD'ers think differently than "normal" people.
The new iPod adds just reinforce the whiteness of the head phones. A black silhouette of a person with a white cord hanging from their ears. How more obvious could it be.
It doesn't matter what the original price was. Lets say he paid $1 for it. Would that imply it is only worth $1? He could of just gotten a really good deal on the property. It happens quite often that people purchase something, do nothing to it, then sell it for more.

Mac's cost more so the average mac owner is likely to have a better economic status. More money usually means better education.
