Dell Using Nerd Wins Physics Nobel Prize

No longer just for cute Aryan stoners, Albert Fert of the Scientific Research National Center in Paris -- who just received the Nobel Prize for physics alongside Peter Gruenberg for their massive brainpower to help shrink hard drives so that they fit into your iPods, or whatever -- is a Dell user. We'll go one step further by suggesting that Fert has dabbled in Linux use when he was young, too.

Shame on you, Apple, for having us believe that only the smartest and most iconic among us use Macs, when Emmy winners and rhetoric students make up the majority of your market.
