You can never have too many shoes, bags... or Apple Macs

The gays love the Apple. I've got two, Steven's got one, and an alarmingly high proportion of the gay blogs I read are tapped out on a Mac. In Stephen Fry's documentary about bipolar disorder, there's a fabulous scene were a therapist accompanies him on a shopping trip. As he practically drools over a Mac Mini, the therapist asks him if he really needs it. "Yes!" he replies vehemently. She then asks him how many Macs he has already. "Oh, nine," he replies casually, in a way that emphasises the irrelevance of mere numbers in the presence of beauty.

So it's kind of nice that the Greenpeace Apple campaign starts from the premise "We love Apple." It's true. We do. And, yes - it would be nice if we could lord it over PC users not only because Macs look nicer and are easier to use, but because they were greener too.

In other Apple news, if you've ever thought that the Shuffle feature on your iPod wasn't really random, the problem isn't inside the shiny case, it's inside your head.

Oh Dan. You're so right. I've got two macs and somehow I've accumulated five ipods! And I'm still trying to find an excuse to buy a new nano.
