Mac users don't like people touching their technology

Is it really like that? Well, since I don't own a Mac or even an Apple's product at all; I wouldn't know. (yeah, go ahead and laugh to this poor guy here ;-p)

But according to a little study conducted by Dave Munger (
Cognitive Daily); he got a very surprising result from the key question in the survey: "When you have a brand-new product (cell phone, iPod, etc.), how willing are you to let others use it?"

That's where the line of this post's title was born, and of course Dave has his own theory on why such behaviour is shown by Mac owners: "I do have a guess at why Mac users might be stingier with their gizmos. It's because Mac users have invested more in their technology. Not only are Macs considered "
luxury" computers, but Mac users have to deal with the fact that their computers aren't always 100 percent compatible with the rest of the world. If they're willing to sacrifice this much for their computers, it's a safe bet that they're also more protective of their technology."
