  1. I am happy to announce that 8 years ago today I became a Mac user. It was on this day – Sept. 5th 2000 – that I bought my Cube (my first computer and still my only desktop). Before that point in time, I hated “computers” because all I knew was Windoze. It was my friend, Art, who showed me the light.

    Thanks Art!

    And who knows how long my Cube will run faithfully and flawlessly….

  2. Is there a commercial in there for Windows? I thought it was a Saturday Night Live skit. How could it be more pointless? I mean it was cute and all, but damn, that was a long way to go with no sell till the end.

    Maybe the next commercial leverages that? Who let’s this stuff leave the table?

  3. The only part of it I enjoyed was that they used bill’s mug shot for the credit card. As the start of an ad campaign, I can’t figure out how this will possibly help win over consumers.

  4. This ad held my interest slightly longer than Bee Movie, but that’s not saying a lot. The Mexican family was the only thing approaching comedy I saw, even if it was a stale stab at Jerry’s salad days.

    Jerry, just stop. I don’t know when it happened, but you have to face it – you’re just not funny any more. It’s true. But don’t let it get you down. It happens to the best of us. Ask Eddie Murphy.

    Bill. You were perfect.

    >.<

    I’m telling you. Barad Dûr.

  5. Anyone else notice the picture on Bill Gates ID is the mugshot from when he got arrested for speeding (and I think not having a license or an expired one) in New Mexico many years ago?

    Google it.
