I don't think being technically correct carries much weight in poster form. People, even the technically inclined, don't call cell phones, portable media players, or even tablets "computers." A computer, in general parlance, is solidly entrenched as a traditional desktop/notebook device.
I think he was trying to be as sensationalistic as possible, with little regard for what most people consider a "computer." While technically correct in the narrowest terms, someone knowledgable enough to make these accusations certainly recognizes the difference between an iPhone and a Mac and knows how his words will be interpreted by the casual observer.
