Well in the headline of APPLE that was indicated;
"Did you know the average IQ of an Apple owner is higher than that of a PC owner? Post your intelligent comments and questions about iBook and PowerBook here"

but the first and last letters must be the same moron...

 

For better or worse, I'm going to try and make an intelligent response to this thread.

I would guess it's not that Mac users are of above-average intelligence, but rather that greater numbers of dumb people buy PCs. This could be for a number of reasons, but primarily the cost. Dumb people are usually poor. I come from a dumb, small town, so I see this first hand every day. They are dumb and poor and not very tech-savvy. They hear about the Internets and computers and decide they want to buy one, so they buy the cheapest and most familiar product they can find, a PC.

If you want a Mac, you have to spend some money and you have to go out of your way and shop at apple.com, a Mac reseller or the Apple retail stores. Dumb people are not inclined to have the money and expertise to make this kind of purchase.

I have a moderately high IQ and I used PCs all my life. Does that make me dumb? Of course not. However, I got into the laptop market because of college and I bought a Windows machine because that's what I've always used. But then I had all kinds of problems in the laptop PC world that I'd never had in the desktop PC world. I got tired of the crappy construction of PC laptops and the quirkiness of Windows. I wanted a sturdy and stable laptop and I went with Apple and I'll never go back.

Does that make me smarter? Of course not. It just means I got fed up with the status quo and decided to do something about it.

@runner91786;

mate,sure I m not a moron.Why do you talk like this?isnt it impolite? when we discuss,even if you or anybody can be smarter or more intelligence,but it musnt make us more up-noise,more impolite to other people.We must keep our human behaviours,attidutes.


@adm58;

1-mate,u are right in some issues.But think that! if u have one thousands sheeps,u can find 20-30 ill sheeps(u call them "dumb"). opposite that;if u have one hundreds sheeps,u probably find 2-3-5 ill sheeps...But the less numbers cant tell us everything.
2-IQ numbers? which institute or any official can explain what is IQ really?who is dumb or not (that u called "dumb")?
such as;In a british consulate IQ contest in Istanbul-Turkey,they found me so clever,so intelligence and my IQ number s 147.They say it s superb number,and this test is made in English,not in my native language,so they have so suprised.So what does it mean?I m on advanced level or not,I m intelligence or not,I m clever or not?I do not suppose these numbers show us everything about brain capacity-abilities.
3-Poor people s dumb people as u said s not a right approach all these peoples.So u derived from ur sentences,they are poor,so they are dumb.It s so easy to say all these things like u said.And naturally,I can ask u a question,all Africans or many Africans are dumb,arent?For me it s not true.(this s a so complicated issue that we cannot reach a result)
4-U say;Apple s a sturdy and stable laptop.and u continue that I buy for this reason.This s a well approach.I ve tested 1 month an apple before buying.And unfortunately I couldnt run all programmes that I need and use.So for me to buy a windows based notebook s a more stable and sturdy step than buying an apple.
5-U said "I m tired of the crappy constructions...."this s so different issue too.Weary is about a psychological manner,how can u define it with some "intelligence" sentences.

-Well,what s my aim?
-My aim (if u say it s an aim) is to define headline s weird rows...Buying Apple is directly correlated with the human s brain capability.How funny...

I was just generalizing, not all poor people are dumb. I know that. I'm just saying where I come from, midwest United States, that is the trend. I only use "dumb" for lack of a better word. I was just saying that in my experience, uneducated/poor people buy PCs and they do not buy Macs. This doesn't mean that educated/richer people do not buy PCs, but they are the group who has the ability to buy the more expensive Apple computers. As a result, one can make the claim the Apple users on average have a higher IQ.

This is not an absolute, there are exceptions, but I think it's a fair generalization. At least in the United States, anyways.

Eh, I just feel a lot of Apple users tend to be more artistic/creative/literature saavy people? I don't excel in any of those 3 categories at all...he he...I'm an accounting major

As much as I love the way those Apple notebooks look, I don't think I can ever get myself to buy an Apple, even when not considering price. I love my Windows
