I couldn’t help but notice Engadget’s President’s Day post on what technology the Mount Rushmore presidents — Lincoln, Washington Jefferson, and Roosevelt — would be using today. Based on Engadget’s “most likely mis-guided and / or offensive stereotypes,” Thomas Jefferson would be a hipster,” appropriately sporting a MacBook and an iPod (along with a Sidekick and Wii). Lincoln, as a “uniter,” also seems to like the Mac, but in the spirit of peace, he runs Vista and Linux alongside OS X via Boot Camp and Parallels. All seems well there, except that Jefferson’s cellular provider would be T-Mobile. What? How’s he supposed to use the iPhone?
Except any of us that attend Mr. Jefferson's University (UVa) know that T-Mobile gets the worst cell reception in Charlottesville. So maybe he would have an iPhone after all...
