(1/9) SILVER AND BLACK. Seagate (STX), the largest maker of hard drives, today unveiled a line of Maxtor OneTouch 4 drives that bring some style to home data storage ($100 – $360). The drives, which work both with Apple's (AAPL) Macs and with PCs running Microsoft (MSFT) Windows, are the latest example of the company's determination to distance itself from competitors such as Western Digital (WDC). How? By becoming a fashionable brand rather than just a component supplier. Will this look make it happen? || NEXT>>

Why does the media feel obliged to mention Mac first rather than PC? Why does the media mentions MAc at all? Aftar all, it is less than 3% of world-wide sales of computers.

Is it because there is some kind of bias towards AAPL? No, i trully dont believe that the media types get any real monetary benefit for it. So Apple is a religion after all, people feel the need to "spread the word" of the Supreme Priest, Stephen Jobs?
