“Never give a sucker an even break.” -- P.T. Barnum Orbitz shows more expensive hotel results to Mac users By Shawn Knight On June 26, 2012, 2:00 PM EST techspot.com If you are planning a vacation this year and will be using Orbitz to book accommodations, surfing from a PC instead of a Mac could save you some money. The travel site has discovered through extensive data mining that Mac users typically spend as much as 30 percent more per night on hotel stays, prompting them to display higher-priced travel options for Mac users than individuals using a Windows-based computer. Executives have confirmed the tactic after first gathering hard data to confirm their intuition in October. Since then, they have been implementing changes in their search results to show higher-priced options to Mac users. Executives noted that they aren’t showing different prices for the same room to different users and furthermore, anyone can sort results by price to find the cheapest options available.
