Four, Count' em Four Tera Electron Volts at CERN in 2012, Baby !
#3
My sister has reported there there ARE a few gals working there with flat-tops. Although most are Birkenstock wearing Gradual Students and post docs.

Data volume is measurable in Petabytes per day. Data analysis programs are run on a distributed computing model, most coding done on Macs .. ta daaa !!!... Sis uses a nice little Macbook Pro after she dropped and finally slagged her Unibody Macbook. And backs it up to a TimeCapsule. Her first mac was a PB 180C as an undergrad, so she's been Mac all the way.

Most folks in high energy physics experiments use Macs to talk to the main Unix systems. X11 ROCKS !
