Mac vs PC infographic
- Tiomaidh 16y agoI'm sorry the "neither" didn't go into more specifics (like both PCs and Macs | use Linux or *BSD | use something crazy like Haiku or KolibriOS | don't really use computers). I'd also like to see a comparison of Linux and Mac users.
- 1337p337 16y agoIt is always odd to me that Mac users tend to always call non-Mac computers "PCs", as if all PCs were basically the same, and as if Macs weren't personal computers.
- jamesbkel 16y agoWould be nice if they gave actual percentages in place of the "x% more likely". Not particularly useful if I don't know the baseline.
- abhimishra 16y agoThe 'more likely' statistics provided are a somewhat deceptive attempt to paint a particular picture - until the raw numbers are provided, it is basically meaningless.
- orijing 16y agoIt would be nice if it controlled for various factors like income, and gave it in a more parsimonious form. For example, it claims that while 54% of PC people have completed a college degree, 67% of Mac people have. But perhaps the linkage is through income. Additionally, as someone else mentioned, the "% more likely" isn't really a great measure. Also, what about the significance levels, not to mention the level of bias in the sampling? I know this is just sort of for fun, but if we're expected to make any use of this data, then it needs to be more rigorous (especially the bias).
