I hope that PC dog is spayed or neutered. I’d hate to think that there will be a bunch of unwanted PC puppies running around in a couple of months.

But with how well the Mac is selling lately, I guess that is going to happen any way.

I watched it twice and it left me with a smile. I wish the lip sink was better. But, I would love it as a iTunes song too!

The dog is great.

They need to work on a group of Blackberry adds and start crushing that berry!

Its that fabulous moment when the dog looks up at Mac – Mac looks back at him and shrugs his shoulders…. just sublime genius.
