- cesclaveria, on 04/19/2008, -30/+925is this some kind of mac convention? did apple gave away macs on cereal boxes or what?
- chrisaug18, on 04/19/2008, -54/+753Holy rich kids alert
- Eshestun, on 04/19/2008, -19/+709As Apple would say....
Think Different. - kirkio, on 04/19/2008, -16/+626This picture was taken at the Missouri School of Journalism (http://duggmirror.com/apple/Look_at_them_apples/)
From their website:
"Students are encouraged to acquire wireless laptop technology from Apple, which the School has designated as its preferred provider, but students also will have a choice of a Windows-based alternative. Last year, 99.5 percent of incoming students chose the Apple option."
"Q. What exactly is required?
A. The minimum is a wireless laptop with Microsoft Office installed. Most of the MU campus has easy wireless access. "

So why is one OS preferred over the other if you're only using a word processor? Who knows. - aaron117, on 04/19/2008, -137/+577God im sick of macs.
- Mackofalltrades, on 04/19/2008, -9/+432Acer kid must be playing a game.
- mikephimikephi, on 04/19/2008, -15/+297If they all run out of internet, they would have to head out Californee way
- whoreable, on 04/19/2008, -9/+276Are you sure that is an Acer? I have a HP that is white on top, black on the bottom, and has the logo in the same exact place.
- modafroman, on 04/19/2008, -0/+253...and theres that one kid in the front left who is using good old fashioned pen and paper (yellow shirt).
- InActionJackson, on 04/19/2008, -14/+214swimmer's probably rite, i know every student at Full Sail has to buy a macbook pro now, its adds an extra 3,000 to the tuition. i'm still trying to figure out how the most expensive computer company cornered the school market like this, you think they'd go for dells or something to make it more affordable.
- strictnein, on 04/19/2008, -6/+192And a Microsoft Word Processor at that.
- YamiJim, on 04/19/2008, -1/+179also in this picture, 4 ninjas, and waldo.
- reevolutn, on 04/19/2008, -5/+166i wanna know what the girl down the front right is looking it
- ElimGarak, on 04/19/2008, -32/+189Rock on! ***** the conformists.
- swimmer88, on 04/19/2008, -15/+166schools are beginning to include a laptop in the price of tuition and give every student one. I've only heard of this being done with mac's.
- bongk, on 04/19/2008, -32/+166So I see a whole lot of kids who will have an extra $1000 on their student loan when they graduate or drop out, and less marketable computer skills to put on their resume.
- YamiJim, on 04/19/2008, -17/+150also in this picture, 4 ninjas, and waldo.
- illegalamigo, on 04/19/2008, -10/+133This is the group of people that bought Stevie Jobs his Italian villa and his luxury yacht...
- nizzy1115, on 04/19/2008, -2/+115I think you might be right...i zoomed into it and it looks like the hp logo. http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/4595/acerep2.jp ...
- SiliconRain, on 04/19/2008, -0/+108And the guy on the left in the yellow t-shirt is holding what looks like some sort of primitive parchment or scroll, seemingly made out of organic plant cellulose - how ridiculous! I think he is reaching into his pocket for a scrawling implement such as a quill or stylus.
- whuddafugger, on 04/19/2008, -17/+125lemmings.
- PurpleSfinx, on 04/19/2008, -0/+108If you look real closely there's one with a hammer and chisel writing in heiroglyphs.
- cheappop, on 04/19/2008, -6/+108Because they get sponsored to do it. It is the same ***** with middle and high schools. Apple puts itself there to familiarize it with the youth, thus making them dependent on a particular operating system.
- Goya, on 04/19/2008, -0/+100What about the poor chap to the left with just paper and pen.
- smacksaw, on 04/19/2008, -5/+100You must live on credit cards, borrowing and a highly "creative" mortgage because you don't appreciate the simple art of planning.
If it goes down, he's saved us 30 posts going "Mirror?"
That's far more annoying than whatever you're feeling towards simplegeek. - floridiot2, on 04/19/2008, -20/+115THINK DIFFERENT!
- chrgrose, on 04/19/2008, -7/+99I bet that HP is running Ubuntu. You know, for that extra flare.
- clearwaterlab, on 04/19/2008, -7/+94If anyone took any time to actually look at this picture, you'll find that there are at least five "Acers"
- DeskFlyer, on 04/19/2008, -1/+87Sorry, I was busy looking at the girl in the front left.
- OneLess, on 04/19/2008, -1/+85That may look like paper, but it's actually a MacBook Air.
- lamiaconfitor, on 04/19/2008, -2/+83licensing agreement, school got paid. Its that simple.
- sirbenofwhite, on 04/19/2008, -9/+86there's another "not apple" about half way up the stairs.. they must be new.
- jakeh111, on 04/19/2008, -12/+87sheep
- j2002, on 04/19/2008, -18/+92Oh My God, I wasn't sure about the excistance of evil until I saw this picture.
- Xalorous, on 04/19/2008, -7/+81They might "look" rich, but 20 years from now when they look back as they send in their final student loan payment and add it up, that laptop's going to cost them about $4k.
- Gimpishi, on 04/19/2008, -1/+68[Enhancing] ....
Yes, it appears to be an HP laptop. Service Code off bottom: 000021445084926
Thanks Hollywood...
Also the girl to her right (your left) has crabs....
I need sleep. - ZoeBee, on 04/19/2008, -0/+65*Her* own.
- smacksaw, on 04/19/2008, -15/+80The wrong tool for the right job. Look at the size of those desks. Eee PC would be much better there.
- Xalorous, on 04/19/2008, -2/+67English teachers everywhere cringe every time that is written/printed/spoken.
- Tiak, on 04/19/2008, -4/+68Unlikely... The few Dells and an Acer would be noticeable in one. It's a classroom, so most likely the school provided macs... A few just preferred other laptops.
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 04/19/2008, -1/+62Could be heavy discounts. My college (Drexel) does discounts with all the regular PC providers, just like most colleges, but maybe MU signed some kind of exclusive deal with Apple.
- xTRUMANx, on 04/19/2008, -1/+56Shall we bury this as inaccurate?
- Nerfdude, on 04/19/2008, -2/+5640k ain't *****. try a million billion dollars and they stole the laptop i already had
my alma mater is the most expensive, therefore i win - illustrick, on 04/19/2008, -36/+88no, don't assume he is doing something wrong, i am a computer engineer and i ***** HATE MACS. linux/windows ftw
- whoreable, on 04/19/2008, -2/+52Thanks for taking me seriously. =)
- illustrick, on 04/19/2008, -2/+516k a year aint *****, try 30k
- magic6435, on 04/19/2008, -7/+54Yea i must really be doing something wrong because for the life of me i cant seem to get 3DStudio max or Solid works installed..................Sometimes i really do think mac users must be retarded. Photoshop is not the only freaking application people might need!
- eigenweasel, on 04/19/2008, -37/+83Or maybe kids with hard-working parents who have foregone their own expenditure to invest in their childrens' educations?
