Copywriter Laurie McGuinness has been making a series of 4 Mac/PC ad spoofs since early 2007 and the spoof features the PC as a businesslike, successful protagonist while Mac as a freelance hand to mouth side kick. All the ads can be viewed from the McGuinness site or even YouTube. They are rated as moderately funny as there is a slight twist in the ads spoof which gives suggestive ideas that iPod users are a selfish bunch of consumer who do not share their music. It is very creative of McGuinness to come out with such an idea. The ads spoof has definitely caught the attention of internet users and increased Apple’s branding.

The number of people who own mobile phones have surpass the number of people who own a PC worldwide. There might be a single computer for a household but there is most certainly to be 2 or more mobile phones per household. The good thing about mobile phones is that it is easily carried around and it stays with the owner almost every single time. As a calendar is a useful part of a mobile phone, Google thinks its Calendar service should be accessed through mobile phones as well as other mobile devices. This will certainly ease all your planning and schedules instead of booting up a PC just to check on a birthday.

It looks like Immersive Media wanted to remove all doubt about what that street-traversing fleet of theirs really looks like. There’s obviously more than one vehicle scanning in streets across the US, but now you know what to look out for — and you little punks in the audience now realize just how tantalizing a target that little 11 camera orb on the roof really happens to be.

Now that just about everyone else has went and upped their NAS capacity to two whole terabytes, LaCie is strutting in fashionably late with its forthcoming 2TB Ethernet Big Disk. The 2- x 7- x 11-inch enclosure sports the typical metallic LaCie design scheme, plays nice with Windows, OS X, and Linux operating systems, and sports a web user interface that’s apparently so easy a caveman (or your grandmother) could use it. The drive sports an Ethernet jack for connecting to a network, handles media streaming to UPnP-compatible devices, and packs a duo of USB ports that can be used to interface directly with a computer or for daisy-chaining another external HDD. Look for LaCie’s 2TB NAS to land anytime for a stiff $1,099 here in the US.

Apart from a couple snarky ads from the NAB, the XM and Sirius merger hasn’t exactly been a thrill ride, and now it looks like it’s going to get even more boring. The two companies filed their initial merger application with the FCC some 70 days ago, and the agency hasn’t even started the 180-day merger review period yet — making this the longest application-to-review delay in FCC history. Industry insiders are saying this might mean that a final decision won’t be reached until 2008, and that’s not even counting in the time it’ll take the Justice Department to do an antitrust review. No word on what the holdup is, but between that service outage and a loud customer backlash in the past two weeks, XM’s got some housekeeping to do in the downtime before it really has to start pitching the merger to the government.

iTunes updates always seem to come with some growing pains, and yesterday’s release of iTunes Plus and iTunes 7.2 doesn’t look like it’s any exception. We’re hearing reports that the new iTunes Plus “Upgrade My Library” feature doesn’t work as expected (when it works at all), that Plus downloads are incredibly slow and frequently time out, and that the preference to always see iTunes Plus tracks when they’re available occasionally resets itself. On top of all that, the intrepid Apple sleuths over at TUAW have discovered that while iTunes Plus tracks might be DRM-free, they still contain your name and account information — which seems like a fair piracy-prevention compromise to us, but has apparently rubbed a few people the wrong way. We’re not sure if the various iTunes Plus problems are in iTunes 7.2 itself or just the result of pent-up demand for DRM-free EMI tracks overwhelming Apple’s servers, but you can bet that Steve’s minions are busy getting iTunes 7.2.1 ready as we speak.

It’s no secret that Dell’s been struggling lately — after years as the alpha dog of the PC market they’ve recently slipped to number two behind arch-rival HP — and now today they’re officially tightening the corporate belt with announcement that they’re planning to layoff nearly ten percent of the company’s workforce. The BBC doesn’t get specific about where they’ll be trimming jobs, but anyone who’s been in Dell Hell better pray that the cuts don’t come from tech support and customer service.

The verdict is still out on Motorola’s upcoming Q9h, but the Boy Genius himself seems to be giving the new handheld a thumbs up, praising the phone’s keyboard, speakers, and camera features. I personally liked the old Q’s keyboard better, but then again I have paws for hands. Otherwise BG says the phone has a full screen camera (which was lacking in the original Q) and the best sound/speaker volume he’s heard from any Windows Mobile 6 phone. Not bad, but it’s still the battery that worries me most. – Louis Ramirez
