John Hodgman has been a Mac user for longer than he plays a PC. Do some research, will ya?

When has Microsoft ever created a great product? Seriously, I think that's the problem- that's why they have Apple and Google envy. Their search quality is lagging, their OS quality is lagging. Back in the "distant past" (in internet terms) Microsoft made a few really good products- some of the early Word releases for the Mac (Before Office and before Word came to the PC) as well as similar Excel releases around that time were most definitely great.

Microsoft's fundamental problem is a product problem. They aren't going to solve it with advertising. Maybe its an even more fundamental problem that they don't realize that their problem is their products, not apple's ads.

As an avid blogger and reader of blogs I always like to find a niche blog for a gadget I’m into. I usually find lots of cool new tips (that I COULDN’T figure out on my own) and actual news stories about said gadget. I guess I need to start looking elsewhere.

The only thing I ever see on this blog are reposts from Engadget or some other blog you steal an entire story from. At least put a different spin on it for christ’s sake.

And if you’re not plagiarizing stories you’re asking us to answer the most inane questions about iphone functionality that you should be answering not asking: http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/09/16/how-many-tries-does-it-take-to-erase-a-iphone/

And for the record, before switching to iPhone I was an avid Blackberry user for many years and Crackberry.com should be ashamed to have partnered with you guys.

Anyone want to recommend a decent iphone blog before this gets erased?

It's pretty well known that he's an Apple aficionado. They keep saying he's going to be on MacBreak Weekly, for Jobsake.

Then again, Apple's are PC's as well. (They even run Windows pretty well!) So no surprise either way...

I don’t understand why this picture is getting so much attention: 1 – Apple pays John lots of money to be in his ad, so why wouldn’t he like Apple 2 – John is an actor. In a commercial. Where he plays a role. Commercials are fake. 3 – Most importantly: in interviews, John, though he plays PC in the commercials, states he uses Macs and is an Apple fan.

Didn’t he reveal he was an iPhone user some six months back on a Daily Show episode?

Umm, he is in commercials for Macs and is obviously paid by Apple. It would be more surprising if he DIDN’T use an iPhone, wouldn’t it? He’s an actor, not really a PC fanatic.
