Novell Apple vs PC spoofs
p2pnet.net news:- Apple’s retarded PC versus geeky Mac ads were funny the first half-dozen times. But now they’re old. Very old. In fact, they’ve become a pain, especially when you’re forced to see them because they’ve been positioned bang next to something you’re trying to read.
Are they doing Apple any good? Macolytes love them, but that’s preaching to the converted.
One thing is sure, though: they’re being talked about, which is what Apple wants, and the latest company to join in is Novell with three downloadable spoofs, repeated on YouTube – 1, 2, 3.
With Linux in the starring role, all three are good but as DarcBird says on GooTube, #3 is probably the best.
Guess who’s representing Linux?

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

I don’t get it. If this is a spoof of a Mac commercial, is it suggesting that most Mac users prefer running Linux on their Macs? Not very likely.

it reminds me of my __PC__!!!! (…[blushing] however, I’ve never used a MAC, though [/blushing]).
Moral to my random thought: __NOTHING__ is “perfect”……
