The Get a Mac ads, in case you haven't seen them (how's life under that rock, by the way?), star John Hodgman and Justin Long as human representations of a PC and a Mac, respectively."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1240256911.usr105634.jpg" /></em></p><p>These are the first new ads since Christmas of last year, when they came out with the animated ad <a href="http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/getamac/apple_getamac_i-can-do-anything_20081215_480x272.mov" target="_blank"><em>I Can Do Anything</em></a> and <a href="http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/getamac/apple_getamac_tree-trimming_20081215_480x272.mov" target="_blank"><em>Tree Trimming</em></a>, fitting due to the time of year.
