Obama is a Mac and Hilary a PC? Seriously now.

I ran into this New York Times article comparing Obama’s web site style to a Mac…ish interface and Hillary’s to a PC frame of mind. Get serious, none of them are neither, nein. Look at Obama’s site it is definitely crowded, busy, presents too many concepts and ideas on the home page and runs forever, all the way down to the New York Subway. Perhaps all candidates should attend the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June in San Francisco, to obtain some guidance as to what the quintessential Mac attribute is when it comes to designing an interface. The journalist also adds that being compared to a Mac is somewhat derogative as it remains a marginal choice of computer “but the Mac is still a niche computer”. All epochs have had their massively adopted beliefs awaiting enlightenment. I’m just not sure it is coming from either Hillary or Obama…
