Gaydar Keychain Answers That Question Once And For All

Jason Chen — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:30:00 EDT

You know how you have that friend—for simplicity's sake, we'll call him Aaron Froucho—that you're never quite sure is gay or straight? What better way to answer the question for all eternity than with a $14 keychain? The thing has three readouts, "gay," "straight" and "maybe," so if you get "maybe," keep asking until it decides one way or the other. Or, if you're feeling lonely, just go with it. Aaron will.

Apple Perceived As Gay-Friendly, Samsung Not

Mark Wilson — Wed, 14 May 2008 08:38:00 EDT

In a recent survey, 757 gay and lesbian participants were asked to rank companies by their gay-friendly factor. Apple came in first place among tech companies with 39% of participants strongly considering the brand to be gay-friendly. Among all brands, Apple came in second behind Bravo (who dominated with a rating of 52%). But alas, things didn't turn out so well for our friends (we can no longer be seen in public with) at Samsung.

Samsung ranked in the lowest tier of companies with a scant 4% of the polled population feeling the brand is gay-friendly. That puts them right between Quaker (5%) and Cracker Barrel (3%). Technically Samsung tied with Wal-Mart and Frito-Lay.

By the way, we attempted to Photoshop the gay pride/rainbow flag onto the old Apple logo, only to find that, duh, their original logo almost did the job for us. Read more about that here. [Prime Access via MacWorld]

Hot off of our intense gay car discussion, yesterday is this intriguing video discovered over on the 'tube of a man accusing his TiVo of being gay. With more and more consumer electronics having the ability to learn, can these devices really turn gay? Will the Zune start seeking out other Zunes with similar sexual preference? What will the future hold for the sexuality of today's consumer electronics? – Travis Hudson
