I assumed his prepped oratory, youth and “cool”, transracial profile, media sycophants, and “Bush did it” excuses would ensure that his ratings stayed well above 60% at least through the midterm elections. In other words, I underestimated the righteous anger of those who are daily deprecated by a utopian class—one that has neither the ability nor the fortitude to achieve what it now wishes to undo in others.

Poken has other uses, It could work great with a bunch of attendees at a conference; Poken is working on putting it into conference badges.
- Stephen Smith
Hells yeah...gotta do something with all the swag.
- Neal Jansons
no stickers on mine. I like the clean look.
- John Wang
I used to have it "clean" as well. Then I switched jobs. So never having to give the laptop "back" to anyone meant I could do whatever I wanted.
- Louis Gray
you put cn next to seesmic? i thought we were friends
- Allen Stern
Cry me a river, Allen. Yours is the first to come off. :) (Besides the shape of the CN and the Lijit and Seesmic logos just flow)

No stickers in my lt, only apple will shine in it<3

I don't, but my job buys my computer. Technically, it's there's.
- Derrick
The correct answer is both . It's a computer, not a skateboard. Anyone who has to express their individuality by advertising their favorite online"hangs" is likely devoid of any more meaningful expression. Or, more simply, stickers suck.

I'd put my site logo onto a netbook, but I prefer the clean look of my laptop.

same opinion regarding bumpers stickers on cars - not cool

Stickers suck? Do you hate balloons and glitter, too, you heartless fiend? Screw that...I am off to plaster my lappie with Hello Kitty.

Sorry if that's harsh, but I see that in meetings and wonder, "am I supposed to take this person seriously?"

I never mess with the exterior of my computers, but my virtual desktops are typically quite the mess (or so folks tell me--they seem perfectly logically arranged to me).
- Kathy Fitch
I love stickers. But laser engraving beats it hands down: http://www.mobypicture.com/user... @marlooz was given a new MBP after hers was stolen at the 140char conference. The names of the people who donated are on it. Forever.
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
I do not own a personal laptop, and I'm not sure if my employer would look kindly on a FriendFeed sticker on my work laptop.
- John E. Bredehoft
Love the Building43 one! I have stickers all over my laptop.
- Robert Scoble
Neal Jansons LOL - Hello Kitty would rock! But Friendfeed and Twitter? Why not Dupont and Allied Waste while we're at it.
- Ciaoenrico
Ciaoenrico, my "meeting" Dell laptop is blank. But this "stickered" laptop is great for social media and blogger meetups.
- Louis Gray
I don't have any stickers because I do not want to disappoint those whose sticker I could not put on.
- ashish
Well, I don't have FF and Twitter...I have event stickers, a WP sticker because I am into Wordpress, Social Media Club, Digg, Laughingsquid, and Rev3 to support people I know/knew over there, and so on. Mostly I put them on to plug people, projects, and companies I like, same reason I wear band t-shirts and so on.

Louis Gray For what it's worth, my vision may be clouded as a co-worker of mine did this with his machine, and he happened to be a complete tool. :)
- Ciaoenrico
I have Eli Manning Giants mini FatHeads on mine.
- Jim Graham
neal - you can have a cn sticker - i have a ton of them - just dm or email me your addy (anyone else too) - trust me louis is nothing special, everyone can have a cn sticker (lets not tell louis tho he likes to think he is special) HAHAHA
- Allen Stern
Ciaoenrico, I have found that whether or not your coworkers are complete tools is typically independent of their laptop sticker choices.
- Louis Gray
i have stickers from bands and musical instrument makers on my lappie.
- Joe Silence is not dead
Louis Gray Fair enough. But I don't think it's the choice in stickers, it's the need to show off what you're into. Whether it's my cup of tea or not, it certainly is fanboyish, isn't it?
- Ciaoenrico
I tend to agree with Roberto, except that I do love temporary tattoos. If I could have laptop *clings* (stick, peel, move, and remove at will), then I might think about it.
- Kathy Fitch
Kathy: The one I have is removable without major issue - it's a gel skin rather than a traditional sticker. There was a range of them in Fry's Electronics, Phoenix, AZ. Not sure where to get them online, I'm afraid.

I created a hashtag to track it easier: #laptopstickermeme is what I tagged my pics with. I customize the hardware I own personally as you can tell. I'm taking the zen approach with my new netbook though. I have a few stickers on my company issue Dell laptop that are easy to remove.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
So far, I have not done it with any of my computers. My first car (used) and second car (new) were both solely transportation means of getting me to point A to point B, so I did put stickers on them. The car I have now, I enjoy the beauty and style of it as much as its function, so no stickers on it except for some inside window static cling Apple logos. Having said that, I don't have anything against people wanting to make their stuff unique or reflect their personality.
- Louis Trapani
$27 for 10 pack? Wow... I don't have 10 places to stick your bumper stickers. I'm still waiting for most of South Carolina to figure out what Twitter is...

My MacBook had stickers - mostly either hangouts I loved back in NC and my "W The Coach" sticker in UNC colors. I saw Rebecca MacKinnon at BlogNashville a few years back and the stickers she had on her iBook and vowed that I would get my own when I could afford a decent laptop. My MacBook lived from the week after the product line lauched until last December, God rest its soul.
- Dana Franks
I only have four stickers on my PC (five if you count that I have both of my Apple iPod stickers on there): Apple logo from iPod package, Mest (punk band), FirePower Airsoft and Accessories, and Limozeen from Homestar Runner.

I put a couple of stickers on my Mac, just so I know it's mine.

I used to have tons of hacker stickers on my laptop but after I got the new Thinkpad I've decided that it should be sticker free
- Keith - @tsudo
These stickers just help me realize how much swag I'm missing out on. I have no stickers. Chi.mp is the only service that showed me any love. Wait, no. Myxer also sent me a bunch of stuff. :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Stickers on personal lappies rock! On a work laptop, not so much, other than perhaps a sticker of the place you work. But I've got an Apple sticker pacmanning my hp logo, a Bunny sticker (bunny-comic.com), a Bob the Fish sticker (Grand Cayman memories), and a Get Out of Hell Free sticker, just in case... the husband is rockin' an old-school Apple sticker over the Apple logo on his MB, very cool at night with the light shining through. He also pays homage to Bunny and CN (he appreciates you, Allen ;D).
- Bette Cooper
I need to pick up some stickers for mine I think, its bare right now. The seesmic one looks cool.
- Craig Deakin
Yeah I think its time to suck up to Loic a bit :-P That seesmic logo is perfectly stickeriffic.
- Rasmus Lauridsen
My laptop only has a "Property of MATT1604" sticker on the bottom of it :)
- MλTT
bet that specific laptop has scratches under those stickers

I have an Apple sticker on the HP desktop that I use at work.

How do you sell the laptop on Ebay when you're done with it if it's covered in stickers?
- Jesse Stay
jesse you sign it and sell it as a collectors item - maybe it helps sell for more
- Allen Stern
Allen not with my signature - I'll get you to sign it when we see each other in the next few weeks. (still working out a date for that)
- Jesse Stay
not me either - mine would decrease the value :)
- Allen Stern
Allen, maybe a sticker with your autograph on it :-)
- Jesse Stay
Jesse! NO brown-nosing! (Louis - I'll take one w/ an autograph!) Jesse - I'll take yours too =)
- Arleen Anderson
I have three small stickers on my Macbook pro; firefox, Ubuntu and Ableton live. I have seem some artfully stickered laptops, but too many company stickers is just too cheesy
- Deepak Singh
I never add stickers on my computers, they make it ugly. Sorry.
- Zachary TG
Wow! That's your laptop? I thought it was a photo of a freezer door full of magnets.
- April Russo (app103)
I will repair something with a sticker if I can't find the duct tape.

About a year ago, I created a special room here on FriendFeed called "Laptop Stickers" so we could share and exchange cool laptop stickers!! #fanboi#laptopstickers
- Susan Beebe
Stickers! http://www.flickr.com/photos... It may be geeky or whatever, but xxxxxxx doesn't sponsor my blogging so no advertising for them. Besides, if ppl think that it does not look "professional" I probably do not want to work with them. Just sayin'
- Stephen Smith
my laptop & netbook both sport Songbird stickers. I'd do friendfeed stickers for sure if someone offered.
- Trent Olson
Once upon a time, I put a Mandrake Linux sticker to cover a windows one on a laptop. Angry of having to buy windows with my PC before having the right to install Linux in it. My children still use this old and broken laptop, and the sticker is still there ;)
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
BTW, I'd be happy to put a 'FriendFeed' sticker on my Laptop! For when I have to talk about FF or to arouse questions about it.. "What's FriendFeed?". No FB nor Twitter stickers: everybody know them now.
