  • "New Microsoft Ad: I'm a Mac, but I'm Listening" ["CP&B was brought on to take a little wind out of Apple's sales (intended), but it remains to be seen what kind of listening Mac users will be capable of.

It's right there in the opening lines of every ad in the series: 'Hello, I'm a Mac.' 'And I'm a PC.' Hodgman is not 'Windows'; Long is not Mac OS X. They are not representative or average PC/Mac users. They are computers."  Daring Fireball 2:32 PM
