“Jerry Seinfeld has pulled the old switcheroo,” Maxine Shen reports for The New York Post. “No more Windows for Bill Gates’ former best pal — the comic has apparently gone back to his first love, Apple [Mac] computers.”
“In 2008, Microsoft paid Seinfeld $10 million to pitch its Windows Vista operating system,” Shen reports.
“But that measly amount bought only one year of his loyalty — and he’s legally free to defect to the competition,” Shen reports. “The funnyman is currently appearing on TV sitting behind a conspicuously placed MacBook Pro. He showed up with his Mac a week ago on an episode of the HBO comedy series ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ where he and series star Larry David are shown putting together a ‘Seinfeld’ reunion program.”
“Pairing the comic with PCs was an odd choice from the start, because when Seinfeld was master of his own domain, he had been associated with Macs,” Shen reports. “Classic versions of Apple computers popped up regularly on ‘Seinfeld,’ usually sitting on a desk in Jerry’s TV apartment.”
Shen reports, “An early Mac ad even used a clip of a young Seinfeld doing stand-up.”

I would blow Ballmer for 10 million. Wait, nah, i wouldn’t. No amount of money could make me do that.
Well since I wasn’t the first to notice or make a comment off topic. I noticed on Ghost Hunters on SyFy channel that the Macs have duct tape on the Apple logo, while the PCs do not. It has always puzzled me. I’ll have to start taking note of other shows that do this as I have noticed it as well. Ghost Hunters just sticks in my mind though.
Half or America’s children will see food stamps at some point.
Hello? Food stamps are a relic of the 20th century. It’s been EBT for years now (Electronic Benefits Transfer), which works fantastically well, another thing that government does better than private industry.
