Maybe this is a reaction towards the people who often do this? After all, we have seen both kinds in our workplaces and they sometimes have certain attributes?
In all seriousness, what attributes are you talking about? Pushing hard for certain software/tech/orgs that they like?

I have a prediction to make. Let me know if I'm right or wrong: These cars with dealer decals are all from dealerships located outside of California, yeah? I ask because I have a suspicion that CA law bans them. Either that, or our culture is so anti-dealer-decal that none dare try to add them. (Every decal I've ever seen has been from out of state)
You got that right. I'm from Georgia and when I bought a new car I had to get firm with the sales guy wrt no stinking stickers. But I'm in CA now and no one has stickers; the tactful substitute is a "complementary" plate bezel with some dealer details on it (name, city). Those are subtle and I kind of like seeing where people are from. Back in GA we have very legible county (2cm font) stickers on all the plates so th…

Call me weirdo but I never jumped on the sticker wagon. I don't see the point of advertising companies for free.

I'm not trying to be jerk, but I never understood that movement.
It's sad to see that in this thread most people jump in conclusions because they only assume there is only one reason why people put stickers on laptops. Without giving it much thought you place people in a 'category' that only exists in your mind. There are a million reasons why people put stickers on laptops. And also a million why people don't. I guess it's best to keep an open mind and don't think you know why pe…
Well, let's not get carried away. There are a handful of reasons at best:
1) they feel the laptop is drab/empty and want to decorate it
2) they are fans of an artist/band and want to promote it
3) they want to broadcast the world the company they work for and/or their choice of frameworks and tools
4) they want to cover some scratch
And that's pretty much it

Stickers are purely an extension of one's ego.
I use a sticker to cover the manufacturer’s logo for various reasons. My choice of sticker was only an extension of ego insofar as it happened to come with a product I purchased around the time I got the laptop.
I always wondered how uptight people would have to be in a meeting to even give the slightest damn about a glowing green snake logo.
