UK Get A Mac Ads Online

Posted by: Michael on Jan 29, 2007 | 4 Comments

Apple has posted the UK versions of the “Get a Mac” ads online.  These may have been there for a while…so no “that is so old” comments please.  I first saw them tonight, and I find most of them funnier than their US counterparts.

Three New Get A Mac Ads

Posted by: J. Angelo Racoma on Nov 28, 2006 | 1 Comment

Just when we thought there would be radical changes to Apple’s Get A Mac ads with the rumor of Justin Long’s not appearing as “Mac” anymore (which has since been cleared up), Apple has released three new videos featuring the familiar John Hodgman and Justin Long team-up.
One of the videos is holiday-themed, but I think [...]

Justin Long - Still “a Mac”

Posted by: Michael on Nov 13, 2006 | 1 Comment

Justin Long reports on his website that he is, in fact, still the “Get a Mac” guy…and is even shooting some holiday themed commercials tomorrow (or maybe today, the post was from 6:40 am this morning)…perhaps the report was a hoax trying to make him seem like even more of a “jerk” than some people [...]

Japanese “Get a Mac” Ads

No John Hodgman, no Justin Long, these “Get a Mac” ads from the land of the rising sun seem to be the same commercials with Japanese actors…but I don’t speak Japanese so I don’t know for sure.

Justin Long a Mac no more…

Posted by: Michael on Nov 8, 2006 | 4 Comments

Radar Online reports that Justin Long (the “Mac” from the “Get a Mac” ads) will not be appearing in the next round of “Get a Mac” ads.  Was he fired or did he quit?  Well…that’s unclear, but his rep had this to say: “Justin’s a movie star, not a commercial guy.”
uhh…right.
Long most recently appeared in [...]

Defining the Apple “Power User”

Posted by: J. Angelo Racoma on Oct 27, 2006 | 11 Comments

2006 is the year of the laptop for me. After several years of living by on company-issued laptops, then purchasing a low-end used laptop myself when I went freelance, I finally got to push myself into buying a new laptop this July, which was an entry-level Compaq Presario V2000. I really wanted a MacBook, but [...]

Get A Mac Ads: Is “Mac” Getting Soft?

Posted by: J. Angelo Racoma on Oct 10, 2006 | 11 Comments

Like Michael, I also dig Apple’s new Get a Mac ads. I think it’s hilarious the way John Hodgman and Justin Long personify “PC” and “Mac.”
However, I tend to think the ads stereotype the Mac and PC (and the users of each platform) too much. While number-crunching and “serious” work are the forte of the [...]

3 Hilarious new “Get a Mac” Ads from Apple

Posted by: Michael on Oct 9, 2006 | 1 Comment

I love these “Get a Mac” ads. I can’t help it. I know some people find them pompous, but these three are hilarious - and they make me proud to be a Mac user.
The first (and weakest) of the three, Counselor, has the duo trying to work their differences out with a [...]
