That isn't unique to Apple, that is everywhere. People drive Ferraries, wear Rolex watches, frequent upscale restaurants, live in upscale neighborhoods and have Alienware computers. Elitist geeks run Linux and proudly show VIM and toss out arcane command lines, they feel status in having a Jailbroken phone, etc etc. Please, really, elitism as a criticism against Apple?
