  1. Actually, when I saw the headline I thought it was going to be Justin Long’s dad… in other words, “Hello, I’m a Mac. And I’m Mac’s dad”.

    Of course, if someone was going to play a Mac Daddy who could they possibly get? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />

    Hmmm…do you have dialup access? You have time in your “life” to complain about MDN’s joke, but not enough to Google three or four words together? Hmm…not to mention time to swipe back at other people…[removed]void(0);

  3. I have to agree with those user who where confused on the headline. It’s not like the band is called Chris Martin and Coldplay, it’s just called Coldplay. Chris Martin is just the lead singer. The whole Apple dad thing is just a confusing way to throw in the word “Apple” in the headline.

    your jobs!
