   Speaking of customization, for Mac users, it only goas as far as putting   
   stickers representing your political beliefs on the lid of the computer.   
   Every desktop looks exactly the same, every computer looks exactly the   
   same. Heck, the typical Apple users is so used to fitting into a mold   
   that they don't bother to change their wallpaper anymore. They appear to   
   be entirely devoid of any kind of unique personality to a point that   
   they all generally look the same (hipster attire, insist on hanging out   
   in coffee shops to let you know that they paid extra to get an Apple   
   product when they could just as easily work at home).   
      
   I've never met Alan, but I'll bet that he wears a tuque all day long and   
   spends his day drinking what Starbucks considers to be coffee writing a   
   screenplay.
