With Microsoft now airing their new series of ‘I’m a PC‘ ads, the timing of this ‘spy pic’ is impeccable.
John Hodgman, the actor that plays ‘PC’ in all of those ‘Get a Mac’ commercials is pictured above. And that’s that he’s using? An iPhone? Yeah, I think it is!
I guess none of us should really be surprised however, seeing as most iPhone users run Windows for their desktop or laptop machine. I simply got a kick out of this, and the bizarre timing of it all. One has to think that someone had this picture of John on their iPhone, and they were just waiting and waiting for Microsoft to launch their new ad campaign to battle Apple… But then again, maybe not. What do I know?

Continuing along with the latest marketing push, Apple has released 2 new ‘get a mac’ style ads.
The first ad called ‘Yoga’ features John Hodgman and Justin Long (of course). PC guy is in a yoga studio with his instructor, while Mac guy watches. PC is encouraged to breathe out all the ‘bad vista’… And the yoga instructor then proceeds to have somewhat of a nervous breakdown complaining that vista has screwed up all of her yoga class billing. Kinda cute, funny… Call it what you will.
The second ad ‘Breakthrough’ features Mac and PC at a therapist. The therapist explains to PC that he can’t be blamed for all of the problems and compatiblity issues because all of his hardware and software are manufactured by different people and businesses all over the world… By the end of the ad though you’ll notice that PC doesn’t quite get it yet…
