Real Mac Freaks
A couple of stories on wired.com look at people’s, um… devotion to Apple:
Tat’s the Way Mac Heads Like It
By Leander KahneyApple is one of the few companies that inspire tattoos through pure love of the product. There are perhaps only two other companies that enjoy similar devotion: Harley Davidson and Campagnolo, an Italian bicycle parts company. Apple is certainly the only computer company with tattooed users.
Less permanent but generally more visible is the hairstyle approach:
Mac Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
By Leander Kahney[Cohen] thought about getting a tattoo, but passing the Buzz Stop salon on Melrose Avenue, he had another idea: He’d get Apple’s corporate logo dyed and styled onto his head.
Several years ago I used to work with a guy who regularly shaved things onto his head. He was a Nike fan (to each their own, I suppose) so it was usually the logo. Now I’m something of an Apple nut myself, but I don’t think I could ever get a corporate logo – any logo – shaved, inked or otherwise applied to my body. Hell, I don’t even like wearing t-shirts with logos on them.
