as the video concludes, it feels pretty damn cool to be a snob. the man on the street mac zealot noted that snobs choose macs.

HA! They should've studied those conceited, know-it-all, Linux users.
I'll still fire-up PC DOS 2.1 or CPM on occasion. Would that make me a snob?

Well duh! It was made in San Fransico, of course any interviewee is going to be a snob!

Sure, because someone who can't spell "San Francisco" really should be calling other people snobs.

And we all know that if you can't spell you can't tell if someone is a snob. Knob.

If Mac users are snobs, windoze users are idiots.
That probably makes linux and Bsd users... Insane?

Damm! That makes me insane and a snob then.

to say that about 95% of consumers and even greater percentage of businesses are idiots is a rather snobby put down; on the other hand, in view of their ease at being led astray by politicians, perhaps most people are idiots; but, do we want mac heads to really run the world?

You know what? We are snobs. That's just the way it is. If you disagree then you're a fanboy, which is slightly worse than being a snob.

Actually, from most of the Mac users I know they want to change others to "bring them over from the dark side"....snobs generally want to keep their "uniqueness" to themselves to perpetuate their little self important worlds.
I'd have to say that we are therefore generally anti-snobs.

The last line in the video is just great. :-P I would consider myself a mac snob in the fact that when I'm encountered with an anti-mac snob (yes, they're snobs too), I don't even feel like giving their closed mind the energy of an argument.
I was not a mac fan until may of 2007 at which point I actually tried one and decided I loved it after about a month. There was a time where I was a closed minded anti-mac snob as well...and there's just no sense in arguing.
