Apple ditches 'Mac Guy' in new ads, John Hodgman stays

I've become a Hodgman fan thanks to those ads. He busts me up.

Their love is eternal. Not even the Great Gods of Mac can keep them apart.

...sorry, but the spot where they hold hands and show they can get along? When Mac wears a suit to show he can be a business computer too, and PC faints? True love. (I'm a little obsessed).

Big mistake. The problem with these commercials is that everyone loves the PC. You're not going to find an actor more loveable than John Hodgman.

Aw, man, I'm such a Hodgman fan. This makes me happy. The hipster Mac guy looks like every single guy I work with. I'll take John Hodgman any day.
