Do you ride a £99 supermarket special?

Nope, an On-One. So, sort of.

Interesting story. Shame you had to editorialise in such a hilarious fashion.*

*Humourless I know, but using the word fanbois is up there with Halifax adverts, in my list of things people should be shot into space for.

Orbitz said research suggested Mac users generally spent about 30% more per night on hotels than PC users.

If your running Linux does that mean you spend more or less than a PC user?

The brunt of the story seems to be that mac users have higher expectations and therefore get shown better rooms and hotels.

Depends if you count the real costs of sleeping in a cardboard box, under a railway arch, beyond the initial monetary saving.

I run a hackintosh – does that mean I break into posh hotels but use my own bed linen?

And in other news, Amazon have been doing this for at least ten years.

So in short people using expensive computers have more disposable income to buy nicer rooms?

Surely for the experiment to have any relevance the people behind the research need to know what price bracket every visitor’s computer was in – but I guess that’s much harder to research.
