It's amusing that a group that touts themselves as valuing
individuality and creativity all use the same restrictive
devices with very little choice.
It's a common stereotype of a Mac users, but to be frank, I never saw a mac user making such claims. On the other hand,
restriction is what drives creativity and innovation. It's easy when you
have all the resources and freedom, but restricted environment is where
creativity shines. Look no further than a history of Apple itself—just read Woz's story in "Founders at work".
Mac fanboys are like the Goth kids of the adult world - they profess
individual expression, but all act and dress the same.
