    I disagree that Apple and nerds have nothing in common.

    At my work, a large percentage of developers have a MacBook Pro or MacBook air, simply because they feel that it's the best hardware for their needs (they'll usually have another OS installed on it - in fact the head of our Microsoft partnership group has a MacBook with Win8).

    Apple's OS upgrades often come with shiny new tech that contributes back to the Open Source community as well:

    I agree that we don't need a bunch of articles about that time His Steveness dropped a wrapper on the sidewalk in 1985, but Apple stories can be a very interesting sign of where technology is headed.
