“Time to upgrade…to a Mac” is the theme of the latest Get a Mac ads. Targeting Windows users who hope that the new operating system will solve the problems of the widely-derided Vista, the new commercials suggest that owning a Macintosh might be the real solution to their problems. As always, John Hodgman plays the long-suffering PC, trying to convince frustrated users that Windows 7 will be different, much to Justin “Mac” Long’s subdued skepticism.

Actor/comedian Justin Long is perhaps best known for playing the easy-going and unshaven “Mac” in the popular Get a Mac ads, but in the short film “Hunger Relief” he embodies another stereotype: a stoner with the munchies.

Apple, Inc. is a content producing machine, lately, with plenty of new ads for the iPhone, and now a new online ad for their Get a Mac campaign. This ad, which can currently be seen on the New York Times website as well as other major websites, is called “Mac Customer Satisfaction” and features the usual two suspects, Justin Long and John Hodgeman.

Apple released a new Get A Mac ad during American Idol last night. Now online, it’s title is “Office Stress.”

The synopsis: PC gives Mac a gift, saying that now that Office 2008 is available for the Mac, Mac should have the gift. Upon opening it, Mac is confused, and PC reveals that is a stress toy. He says that because Mac will be doing a lot more work now, he will need one. The fun gets started when PC gives examples of when one might be stressed: “Oh, Mac just got the latest version of Office [squeeze] Mac can do all the work stuff you can do [squeeze] I want to transfer all my files to Mac [squeezing hard]” As the iMac still comes on at the end of the commercial, we hear PC say “Give it a squeeze!” in an irritated voice, and a popping noise as the stress toy pops.
