Of the ~550 people attending RailsConf (a recent programming conference), around 90% toted Mac laptops. So conference organizers (?) decided to reward with a certificate the “non-conformists” who brought PCs. Hehe. This statistic plus the recent Ubuntu switcher rumblings makes one wonder if Macs are becoming too popular to be “cool” anymore.
Aside
Actually it was my friend Xian who came up with the idea for the certificates, so he made it up, we went to Kinko’s and then handed out about 50 of them 🙂 It was great fun, and we had nothing to do with organizing the event, it was just for fun…
