Nomad_ Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 iPad Owners Are ?Selfish Elites.? Critics Are ?Independent Geeks http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/07/ipad-owner-are-selfish-elites-critics-are-independent-geeks-says-study/?utm_source=Feedburner It?s not exactly official, but should also surprise no one: According to a new study the psychological profile of iPad owners can be summed up as ?selfish elites? while have-not critics are ?independent geeks.? Of course the ?haves? would probably call the ?have nots? ?cheap wannabes? to which the ?have nots? would retort: ?FANBOI!!? Which is why we should stick to the science. Consumer research firm MyType conducted the study, in which opinions of 20,000 people were analyzed between March and May. The firm?s conclusion was that iPad owners tend to be wealthy, sophisticated, highly educated and disproportionately interested in business and finance, while they scored terribly in the areas of altruism and kindness. In other words, ?selfish elites.? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/925104-ipad-owners-are/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharos Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 The selfish cow! If trolling was your intention, nice try. Did she buy it? No. Is she the owner? I don't think so. If you were just trying to be funny, then just disregard this post and sorry for the inconvenience :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/925104-ipad-owners-are/#findComment-592971266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Yes... Look at all the charity organizations, they are all setup by homeless and unemployed..... /sarcasm Charity orgs, at least some, are really selfish. I used to work for a well known one. The company did great work in the eyes of the public, but they were very selfish and cut throat to their employees. Still are. I was messed over as well as 4 other people I know and I continue to hear stories.

suicide_pact Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Speaking as a selfish, elite, ******, and speaking only for myself (as only a selfish, elite would) I'd just like to say that I don't own an iPad and appreciate being labeled as such.

The Gunslinger Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Lol...I recently used a guys at work ipad. And it didnt impress me in the least. I asked him why he has it, since he is basically using it as a notepad, his reply, and I am not making this up..."I wanted to be the first in the area who has one!".

WigglesTheFish Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Despite the fact I have been an Apple user for over two years, I wouldn't mind an iPad... simply because my iPod Touch can get hard to read on at times (my eyes aren't so great).
