Just walk around any coffee shop or conference in the Valley. Almost everyone will be using an iPhone. You will very rarely see an Android phone. And pretty much everyone will have a MacBook, of course. This saddens me: so many hacker types accepting locked down platforms. As with many things in Silly Valley, I suspect it may have more to do with faddishness and hipsterism than anything else. Conferences I've been to (yes, in the valley), have been a pretty mixed bag, and tech enclaves I've known are also fairly light on the Apple product placements.
