This is what it looks like after Steve Jobs reenacts that scene from American Pie. iPPLE Pie?

Poor guy. His shiny cool Apple PowerBook gets struck by an obviously “PC” baseball. Notice the girl recording it with an Apple iPhone at the end.

So after all the years of the Get a Mac commercials with the PC Guy and the Mac Guy, Microsoft finally decided to hit back with their PC Hunter ads.

In the commercials, a shopper would be told, if they can find a computer they want, for under $1500, they can keep it. The person would then look at all the Windows laptops, compliment the specs and prices, then look at the Macs, say they’re overpriced, and finish the commercial off by picking a PC with higher specs for a cheaper price.

Apple recently lowered MacBook prices, so they were pretty pissed off when the original commercial had lines like this, “This Mac is $2,000, and that’s before adding anything.”, and, “Why would you pay twice the price?”

For some reason, Microsoft decided to change the commercial, and released the one at the top of this post. Not much has changed, but now she just says, “It seems like you’re paying a lot for the brand.”

Why Microsoft changed the ad is beyond me. Apple would never stop making their Mac Guy vs. PC Guy commercials, and I wouldn’t want them to, they’re funny. I don’t want to get into a Mac vs. PC debate, so I’ll just say, both have their pros and cons, and obviously Macs are more expensive than PCs with the same specs. Maybe it’s for the brand, maybe it’s for the style, or maybe it’s for the operating system; you be the judge.

iPhone guy never changes facial expressions. I think my favorite icon is Weather. Force Lightning is always an awesome power to have. I just wish he’d held up a better state than Texas for Maps…

John Hodgman, the PC from Apple’s Mac commercials, administered a nerd test to President Barack Obama last night. It brings a real joy to my heart, knowing that our President is a Star Trek geek. Watch the video, it’s a good laugh.

You know those commercials where they give money to somebody if they can find a laptop that fits their price range, and has all the specs they want? Did you notice how in all of those commercials the actor looks at a MacBook and says it’s too expensive and has not so good specs, and they always end up choosing a PC? Well, Apple has responded.

Personally, I’m a PC guy. Only because I’m practical, and buy a computer that does what I need it to, for a good price. Don’t get me wrong, those MacBooks look great, and OS X looks great, but for the price of a Mac, you can get a PC with double or triple the RAM, a bigger hard drive, bigger screen, and an equal processor for the same price, or even cheaper. But hey, if you’re rich enough to buy one, go for it! I do own an iMac G3 though. Got it for $5, fully functional with the original keyboard and hockey puck mouse!

A blogger from Office Wars has one amazing fiance who decided to bake these deliciously geeky appcakes for his 25th birthday. I think my favorite is the weather app. That Sun looks delicious. Plus points for the pan that looks like a natural background for iPhone App cupcakes.

Could this be the new Mac Mini? It sure looks like it. A spy video in decent quality, I think it just might be real; also, that is one sexy piece of hardware.
