Do You Ever Worry About Your Worlds Colliding Online?
I was watching an old episode of Seinfeld the other day (it was "The Pool Guy" episode), and I couldn't help but LOL when George went off on Jerry for introducing Elaine to his girlfriend Susan. If you haven't seen the episode, George gets mad because he doesn't want his "worlds colliding". .
Desktop Wallpaper You Need: The Costanza
The appeal of changing your desktop wallpaper is obvious — it's free, it's easy, and you get a mental refresher every time you look at your computer screen, which is something most of us have to do all day. Sometimes we stick to ones we like for a long time, and sometimes you're in the mood to switch it up, as I am now. Usually I go for a fun design, but today?
Have You Ever Recorded a Goofy Voicemail Message?
Ah, George Costanza. He was a different breed. Behold, the video below: George screens his messages while watching TV, and grooves to a sweet little ditty he recorded himself for when he was out — listen to it and try not to get his "Believe It or Not" stuck in your head.

Have the Mac vs. PC Ads Jumped the Shark?
Are Apple's long-clever Get a Mac ads no longer clever? They've tried to respond to Microsoft's Laptop Hunters ads via their Hodgman-and-Long two-man show, but the results just feel a little stale.

In addition, they have a more direct anti-Apple attack with a John Hodgman clone who satirically declares he is a PC and has "been made into a stereotype."
