PC to Mac

Despite the casting of Apple spokesman Justin Long in He's Just Not That Into You, the movie is not that rife with Apple products. The characters are definitely all attached to their cell phones, though none of those are iPhones. What does share screen time? Macs and PCs.

Drew Barrymore's character Mary uses an iMac at work — and puts it to work big time, logging hours on MySpace to try to get a date. The other ladies of the film — Ginnifer Goodwin's Gigi, Jennifer Aniston's Beth and Jennifer Connelly's Janine, work across town as copywriters — all on PCs.

Whether they're lucky in love or not, the characters were able to go to sleep knowing they had a stable relationship with their operating system, at least.

See? It doesn't have to be one or the other.

David Letterman featured this PC vs. Mac video starring comedian Chris Elliot on his show recently and besides being utterly hilarious, I am guessing it will make a couple PC users pretty happy. Touting an awkward brown Justin Long wig, Elliot gets a little, shall we say retribution for playing the "I'm a mac and I'm so wonderful" card. At least no one can call it "smug."

It doesn't quite beat out the Old School Windows 95 video starring Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry, but it's still a treat.
