The person playing the Mac is in the movie Accepted and his name is Justin Long, but what I'm asking is who's the PC? I swear I've seen him before. Anyway, my favorite is the Angel/Devil one. It makes a funny commercial without having to go through how much better a Mac is. The other commercials set the cliché and this one just makes fun of it. Who’s in the cast here?

Also, I subscribe to the free vidcast on iTunes called, The macTV Video Podcast, which appears to be a British run site. They have all the "Get a Mac" ads. The info synopsis states, "The macTV Video Podcast selects the best video clips from the macTV site at www.watchmactv.com and presents them to you via iTunes. You can automatically get your fix of Apple, Mac and iPod related videos every Tuesday. This is an iPod edition where all videos are iPod ready. This Video Podcast is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Apple Computer, Inc."

I went over to Apple.com yesterday,but I didn't feel like watching the new videos. Thanks for giving a quick synopsis of them. That reminds me I need to watch the WWDC keynote before they remove it.

Here's hoping we see many more of these ads through out the rest of the year. This ad campaign is so much fun and I love the new ads every bit as much as the previous ones.

I love all these ads... yet the only thing I'm affraid of is that by touting the mac's superior resistance to viruses and spyware, more hackers will try to write stuff to get into macs.
