Revenge of the nerds

What makes geeks as a sub-culture, so biased about the brand of products they choose to use?

Here’s a pic of a Window’s Vista poster / billboard that was vandalised (or physically Photoshopped with a blade) by Linux fans. Maybe because the products used by geeks work so different from each other it brings out this disturbing dark side.

We just can’t imaging Sanlam policy holders having such pride in their association with Sanlam that they’d go out at night and ‘redesign’ an Old Mutual billboard.

Maybe this was all started by those Apple people, who love making PC-people look, dull and ordinary. [YouTube]
