In what could only be described as the oddest of statistics to come out of the woodworks in awhile, the Wall Street Journal reports that travel shopping site Orbitz sold more expensive hotels to Mac users on average because, as the company discovered, Mac users prefer it.
While Orbitz wasn't skewing the search queries to display the more pricier hotels to Mac users specifically, those hotels did pop up on the list more often for Mac users than those using Windows.
Orbitz discovered that Mac users were spending about $20 to $40 more a night on hotel than their PC-using brethren, and that Mac users were 40% more likely to book a four- or five-star hotel. The Wall Street Journal also added that the average household income for adult Mac users is $98,560--a higher median when comparing the $74,452 average household income for adult PC users. The results did not indicate whether these were mobile or desktop users.
What this has to do with anything is perplexing to us. All that this proves is that Mac users have good taste, are willing to spend more money on their computing products, and prefer to avoid bedbugs while on vacation. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
