I can't stand those "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" ads. For one, John Hodgman is on the Daily Show, whereas the Mac guy starred in one crappy movie and, apparently, played Britney Spears' boyfriend. (What did people do before IMDb?) Also, they've got that same irritating, faux-hipsterish vibe that turned me off Little Miss Sunshine. (I thought the latter wasn't bad, but...you get the feeling that mainstream types go for it because it makes them feel all "indie," and "indie" types like it because they're afraid that if they don't, they'll be deemed uncool by the universe. That kind of movie.) Watching those ads makes me want to buy a hundred PCs just to wipe that look of smug superiority off of Justin Long's face.
Incidentally, I'm writing this on my new Macbook Pro, and it's pretty much the best thing ever. It's all sleek and shiny looking, and it's so easy to use, and you can make movies and music with it. If you're thinking of getting a new computer anytime soon, definitely get a Mac.
Oh yeah, and I realize it's late in the season for this, and everyone's probably seen it already, but...
