NYT article explores the world of laptop-dominated cafes and their patrons:

I was an interloper among them, an anthropologist of sorts, sent to untangle their odd society, to understand their mores and unwritten rules. How did the natives interact? How did the government function? What was the economy like in this land of bottomless cups and table hoggers? And what, oh what, were they all writing?

The analogy the writer uses to contrast Macs and PCs seems curiously reverse (to me at least).
