It's clean, sleek, bold, and timeless. It's not even metrosexual. The old logo was a bit girlie, in an early 80's roller disco sort of way. It looked more at home on a pair of wide elastic suspenders than a computer - which likely had an effect on early corporate interest. What's great about this logo is that it's nothing and everything. Depending on the user and the situation it can be seen as girlie to macho to creative to smart. Or just another brand - albeit the best: http://brandchannel.com/start1.asp?fa_id=415 No way.

That's why one could think that it's girly.. but the truth is: 1) Guys want to have it.. and show it to everyone. They spend time just looking at it, and love it. Like a girl. 2) Girls think it's cute, and if it comes in white (or pink!) it's even better. It's like a little girl, or a.. little cat hahaha.. isn't it?

I don't think it "screams testosterone" either (though that's what I voted - closest to my thoughts). It's sleek and simple, and has one toe over the border of masculine. I personally think it is far too basic to have much of a bias toward anything at all. That, combined with the design of their computers, which mirrors that simplicity, makes them great for use in situations where the computer needs to be non-obtrusive. I've seen them used on stage at churches (and in other similar settings) a lot and they are easy to ignore. I don’t think it’s girly at all.
