The Thinking Blog is more than just a frequently-updated source of amusing facts and interesting information. It is a stream of consciousness intended to be succinct and thought provoking. A cornucopia of eclectic topics aiming to examine a range of exciting ideas, inspirational technologies and cultural curiosities. There is something for everyone; from serious to humorous, for deep and light-hearted thinkers alike.
Finally one with a bit of truth. This is a fan project of South Park and parody of the Mac vs PC commercials at the same time. Created as the final project for a multimedia production class at California State University Northridge (CSUN). It's nice to see someone not siding with either OS and just having a good giggle at them both. There is an unbiased fanboyless theme to it. You expect the "Linux rocks" message to chime in at the end, but instead sticks true to the middle. I think it's better than the Get a PC spoofs.

Funniest spoof by far!
Hello, Ilker Yoldas:
I have a collection of links about MSoft and Apple. It's somewhere i my links of the day.
Sorry to break the news. I am a rabid Apple supporter. Even my Ph.D. CS :wub: agrees with me.
MSoft, the Evil Empire. Google the Mini-Me Evil empire. It's close to midnght. Play "After Midnight" by Eric Clapton for me.

@Tina: Yes I did check them this morning. You are making me read your blog because you link to my posts almost everyday! =)
Thanks.
@tina: As a Mac user, I have a very, visceral hatred of the beachball. That's what freezes the Mac up at the end. If you don't use a Mac, the beachball is your enemy. It will never bring down the entire OS, but it's heavily annoying as it happens too much when switching tabs in OSX.
Thou I thought it pretty funny when he tried to get away and froze.
Ilker, that was great...I love those Mac/PC commercials and this spoof just tops the list!
You should check out SP studio... it's what they used to create the characters in the spoof...
here's my south park character:

That video was hilarious!
Good find.
That was nice, I like the bsod. I still feel like this is almost like a political attack ad and glad Microsoft hasn't stooped to that level yet.
a similar video is here http://hem.com.np/2007/05/24/bill-gates-and-steve-jobs-pc-vs-mac-fighting-video/
