supergeeIn a profile of danah boyd, who understands the Web better than they do, The NewYork Times writes, "In a juxtaposition that causes her no end of mischievous delight, her laptop bears a sticker of Snow White, whose outstretched arm gently cradled the Apple logo." Are they condescending to her as a girl or a geek?
