I’m a Mac. I was a PC. But then I got cooler and poorer, and I’ve had no regrets (in fact, a little parcel containing an iPad 2 should be jetting its way to me this week).
From a site called Hunch (where you can see it bigger). I don’t like the bit about being more likely to be a vegetarian.
Building a coffee machine into your PC is easy (allegedly) – but Macs are notorious for not requiring tinkering. You don’t need to tinker with perfection – well not without a really good reason.
Here’s a guy who puts together a Mac/Coffee Machine/Speaker combo. And he does it all in the body of the now defunct iMac.
On the one hand these videos are really funny and poke legitimate fun at “bumper sticker” Christian sub-culture.
On the other hand, they’re pretty dumb and based on the pursuit of the Holy Grail of Christian authenticity. The “Christ Follower” totally listens to U2… he even says so… in the third video.
Both extremes are dumb… just as they are when it comes to the Mac v PC ads being spoofed – as this SMH article so humourously points out…
I hope the video is actually mocking both ideas – but I get the impression it’s pushing people to define themselves as “Christ followers” rather than Christians, as though the label is so loaded with negative ideas that it needs replacing. I end up feeling just as frustrated by both of them.
When you boil it down, both Macs and PCs are computers, and both the characters in these videos are sinners forgiven through the work of Jesus.
Besides there’s nothing more fake than the relentless pursuit of authenticity.
So Robyn has had her Mac for a while now. She was very excited when it arrived.
Well, today mine arrived…
It’s beautiful.
It’s very nice.
