There's 6 ads in total. The PC looks like it's played by Bill Gates. While the Mac looks like it's played by tgeller. :-)

Yah they would be cooler if they didn't put the damn video on their front page. I hate sites that have audio automatically start up. I despise sites that have video start up.

I didn't notice any lag on MY end of our OC-48 at the office. ;-)

Hurr, old people!

Wow, remember when Macs were the computers for artistic and creative people? Now we have PCs and Macs squaring off to see who can download the most "content" fast enough ... which frankly is something that either of them do pretty much the same.

:xP IMHO, Its not about lag its about design. I don't know about you but having video, and for that matter audio, playing when you go to a website seems....rude?
Ask me if I want to do X on my system. don't assume.

Damn, that *does* look like me! (About 40 pounds skinnier and ten years younger, but still.) Does this mean my look is finally becoming "in vogue"? It never has been before. :-/

Yeah. I noticed a lot of their talking points really don't mean anything anymore.

I'm assuming you're not into marketing

Because Marketers (?) KNOW what we all want, we want the flashiest and loudest web pages! No matter if everybody hates them... they know better! =P

If by "cool" you mean "smarmy and utterly failing in getting people to change from PCs".
Last I checked being called names never convinced anyone. ;)

This is Apple we're talking about.

They practically invented smarminess.

His name is John Hodgman and he's actually an author as well. He was on the Daily Show promoting his book and was so funny they added him on. He also played "Eccentric Billionaire" for They Might Be Giants latest DVD of videos.

The Mac guy is Justin Long from "Dodgeball" and "Jeepers Creepers." He's also on Ed and is a pretty funny guy too.
