I hope Apple has enough of a sense of humor to put that up with the other ones on their website or at least show it at the next MacWorld or whatever. Heck it should run on TV.

Could you imagine seeing the Monkey Switch at an Apple Expo - that would be hysterical - wow. :D
But I'm with jello - why a negative? Weird, this was all in fun and showcased a wide range of great creative talent. Maybe a sore loser???

Anyone care to explain the Steve Ballmer video? Is that actually real?? :eek:
Ah, unfotunately, yes it is. There was a longer one somewhere, that was made into a music video. If anyone has the link they should post it.
Imagine if all the porn in the world was produced on mac, Apple would not have to care about market share anymore :D

Personally, I prefer the Ballmer "Developers" video. Scary stuff. Anyone have a link?
