There are commercials (sponsored/funded by Apple) that pits Windows against Mac. Some are funny and some just don't make any sense. I've seen them on NBC and ABC networks.

Apple is going to pay for it's success. And the more popular it becomes the more it is going to look like Microsoft.

The smugness of all Apple worshipers will go away one day. At least I hope so because that will mean Apple becomes a viable platform for things outside photo/music/video editing.

well, the south park was kind of funny and so was the Japanese one, but the Japanese one was just crude- me no like Japanese cross-dressers.

Yea, probably. I always hear , "you know apples don't get viruses" and I think, yea that because no one of importance uses one. Just like with this incident, the more mainstream, the more dollars they see, the higher the revunue, the lower the quality. I don't know, I think they showed just stick with what they do good, photo/music/video thing

Mac: Hey, I'm a mac.
PC: And I'm a PC.
Mac: I don't get BSOD's like Wind- What? WHAT THE HELL?!
PC: Oh, BSOD? Yeah, those are tricky.
Mac: You did this to me!
