I'm a Mac and I'm NPR

John Hodgman, of The Daily Show fame and the (wrongly) much-maligned Mac ads, was featured in an NPR interview promoting his new book, The Areas of My Expertise.

Hear the fun here.

I think the Mac ads are rightly maligned. I don't think it is a wise campaign by Apple. Everybody adores John Hodgman as the lovable loser PC and I think the Mac guy acts kind of snobby. comment by  A.J. Romens, 9/07/2006 11:49 AM

Oh yeah? Well I think that spending countless hours watching John Hodgman clips from the Daily Show is better than doing homework. comment by  brian, 9/07/2006 1:34 PM

I agree, they are snobby. As a former Mac hater and now a believer, I fully understand (and laugh) at the commercials. And MS is certainly feeling some heat over the issue -- see the Longhorn/Vista screenshots. comment by  jp, 9/07/2006 1:35 PM

"Apple has issued a recall on several models of Mac laptops because the battery can overheat and catch fire. Experts say a Mac fire is just like a PC fire, except it's more hip and condescending." -Conan O'Brien comment by  C, 9/08/2006 10:47 AM
