Forthwith and without explanation

I like this scathingly delightful Windows ad in which "Lauren" cunningly disses Apple for being pricey and elitist.

I mean, it's true. The Apple tax is a real thing. There's a sense of entitlement when I whip out my iPod touch in public, but it really is about $100 - 150 overpriced. If I had a MacBook, I imagine that feeling of "betterness" would only be stronger. And yes, this is really just thinly veiled jealousy. I'd love to have a MacBook provided that all models finally featured the anti-glare screen. I hate the shiny, glossy screen that Apple has on there now.

Also of interest: leaked Uncharted 2 gameplay footage!
