I think a lot of hackers are using macs, and a lot of startups are using them too. It's part of the new "uniform" for startups.

The idea of a "hacker" and a "uniform" don't really seem to fit together.

edit: and actually, I think the whole "uniform" mentality is exactly the way that apple wants people to see its products, whereas that kind of thinking makes Linux users' skin crawl (at least this linux user's - coming on HN is making it harder and harder to make myself buy that mbp...)
