Bill Gates Vs. Steve Jobs

written by John Chow on February 17, 2007

You know those “I’m a Mac and I’m a PC” commercials running all over the TV? What would it be like, if instead using two guys nobody knows, we use Bill Gates for the PC and Steve Jobs for the Mac? This video answers that question.

That was funny!

I used to have a C-64!

I’ve been seeing a lot of funny animated bits coming from Current TV… Isn’t that Al Gore’s network?

Heh, that was brilliant. Finder is a good singer!

funny

that was pretty funny. The ending should have been a bit less sappy though.

The beginning was nice, but a bit too long, the end was a tad boring, nicely done though.

LOL! Love the commodore..

Reeeealy delicious I started computing with a Z80 processor, I just remembered that by watching the movie

What a terrible ending, I was cheering for Gates and was just waiting for him to unleash something haha.

Friggin’ funny but yeah lost it’s way. I was laughing pretty hard at first but only found a few chuckles at the end. Nevertheless, nice find.

That was hilarious!

“I’m sorry for being such a weiner.”

I was expecting two actors that looked like Bill and Steve, but this was better.

What is this music? For babies?

That was a pretty funny clip…very well done.

Aah, I’m reminiscing about my Apple IIe from 1984, but I digress. Thanks for stopping by on MyBlogLog John. I have you as a Technorati favorite. I hope you’ll return a ping favor to me. I want to be like you big shots when I grow up into my serious blog pants.

Bill sounds like “Kermit the Frog”.

MS got no love. A frickin’ Window? He could just crash and take them both down

Harry Maugans February 17, 2007 at 6:47 pm

Nice, hah.

Ending did kinda drag though.

oscarsito February 17, 2007 at 8:28 pm

Hah, pretty funny clip. “iPhone #####”

TheAnand February 18, 2007 at 1:40 am

The plain old debate about Os es. . . .but wer did the linux go? the penguin is missing! . . . .

Funny. “It’s an iHouse” – “But it has no windows” – “Exactly”.

If I knew that the iPhone had a built-in light saber, I would’ve gotten it by now.

Delwynndwn February 18, 2007 at 12:08 pm: However, with the iPhone, you’d have to dig through menus just to find the lightsaber function. At least with the Zune, there’s a single button that brings it right up.

Not that I favor one or the other. If I were to get a hand held audio player, it would need to support Ogg Vorbis and FLAC.

Mike February 18, 2007 at 1:09 pm

I thought that was pretty funny.

I like the old Commodore 64 at the end where he’s like you guys should be happy that you have tied in to the internet and brought porn in… It was kind of dumb, but funny…

Sonia February 18, 2007 at 1:17 pm

Great video

Zune sounds like crap. They should think on how to make a player, which is in line with iPod or better. It’s time to tell real people story!

Gregg Gordon February 18, 2007 at 4:14 pm

Great clip. I’m not anti-Apple, but I must admit that I’m getting tired of their ads claiming that all you can do on a PC is crunch numbers. It’s made even annoying when you remember that a few years back the Apple enthusiasts pointed to the use of the machines by the publishing and print industries as the reason why Apple was superior; stating that Apples were what was used when serious work needed to be done.

I must admit, some of my like for this is that when I showed my wife and said “He found it on Geeks Are Sexy”, she said “Yes, they are”.
