Now this could be some advertisment :)

These days, we are witnessing those bizzare, silly and often distasteful Mac vs PC ads. i so hate the negative campaign! Anyway, if you feature John Hodgman as a PC, who would give Mac (no offense meant to Justin Long) a second look ;). he is probably the only redeeming feature of these ads. Apple Inc. could certainly take some inspiration from videos like this (created by HappySlip, e-mailed to me by MD). Now this makes a very fun and creative potential ad :).



he he, its inspired by my all time favorite James Blunt song.....

While surfing HappySlip's home page, i came across this: yes, a
fake Steve Jobs web-page :). There's a fun post titled "Since Linux keeps coming up" :)).

More funny trivia: for today's episode of Heroes, they showed the latest Mac vs. PC commercial that totally bashes Vista (not linked in the post, cudn't find it)-but at the end of the program they had "scenes from the next episode, presented by Vista" :)).

Have fun, folks :).

The mac ads actually do have a point. Movie and photo editing, at least, is far easier on a mac. But yeah, maybe they shouldn't be so smug about it. For some reason they remind me of those bizarre Salman Khan real-men-drink-Thums-up ads, which totally put me off Thums up(and this from a total Thums up fan).

And I agree, it was a BIG mistake to cast John Hodgman. He is way too endearing.

well, yes-i agree with your first point. i use both Mac and PC-but the negative campaign is no good, especially the ad labeled "distatsteful" in this post! it really takes away the goodness factor of the said products! Oh, and i recall that real men thing!

Yup, Hodgman is ADORABLE :).

Did you see the new ad caricaturing Vista's security features? :)

sbkt, pls. don't feel "Oops" on that, its always a pleasure watching Hodgman (even if its on those ads).

BTW, he owns a blog on Blogger:
