    Know what? Don't care. She's a much hotter and more personable spokesperson than Warren Cheswick, and her ad involves less lies than many of the Mac vs. PC ones do.

    Am I seriously the only one that finds it hilarious that Mark had to Google how to take screen shots of Lauren's website on a Mac? Look at the screen shots in the gallery, look at the Google search box, and the tabs he has open.


    Mark, free tip, Command+Shift+4 lets you take a selective screen shot of what you want. That way you don't have to give yourself away.

    couple things come to mind.


    1) The NDA probably is so she won't bad mouth vista on her laptop.


    2) Just because she's an actress, doesn't mean she didn't actually choose the HP over the non-existent sub $1000 Apple Bag of Hurt.


    3) Does the carpet match the drapes?

    ""Lauren" (who is really Lauren"

    lol

    I'm not quite certain this actually invalidates the point of the ad, which was cost vs functionality.

    Okay, I know MANY card-carrying members of the Sociation of American Fight Directors, (i.e. stage combat junkies) and more than a few are Mac users.

    To be fair, though, can't say as I know any cheerleaders who use 'em.

    @tridtaei: The problem is this kind of story serves only to feed trolls on both sides of the Mac vs PC war.


    Lately the mac fanboys have been significantly more difficult to endure because the bias that Giz has been showing towards Apple inflates their already massive egos.


    It's annoying for someone like me who's not a fanboy (PS360 owner) and likes and owns both Apple products and PCs.

    @EstimatedProphet: Seriously. The only reason Giz has a raging boner for discrediting this commercial is because it is the first MS commercial that effectively makes apple look bad while making valid points in MS's favor.


    Boo-hoo fanboys. The truth hurts. Cry in the corner.

    And this marketing must not be so horrible if Giz is making such efforts to discredit it, huh?


    Do you have anymore fanboy drivel for today or does this conclude your lesson?

    @marm0lade: your the one on here bitching and moaning about all of this. On top of that you think that the commercial must be quite good because its being ripped apart across every blog imaginable. I'm guessing you think the Bill and Jerry ads were kick ass as well, even though they flopped so badly that CP&B along with Microsoft declined to comment on the results. But in your world that ad must be amazing since all of the tech blogs had that posted as well.

    I knew it! If she is SAG eligible that means that she is pretty established in the industry, which would mean that she would not have much trouble purchasing a white macbook especially with that rebate today and with that fat paycheck she received for being in a national commercial.
